My book - Alternative Poetry Books - Yellow edition is THE featured book on the front page of Freado.com because underneath they are carrying the link to my latest stop in my blog tour on the BookBuzzr Blog.

Here's how it starts....

A few months ago, we had the swine flu scare in India. Everywhere I went, I saw people wearing masks.
And everybody kept cleansing their hands with hand-sanitizer. You could practically cut the fear in the air with a knife.
At this point, I stumbled upon a BookBuzzr book with the words "Alternative Poetry - Lite" in the title.
Intrigued, I flipped through a few pages. And before I knew it I was smiling ... and then laughing!
Then I came across this little verse which was so relevant to the "lets-keep-everything-clean" mania that had enveloped me
and all other people in my immediate surroundings:

Where There's Dirt There's Life
Nothing good comes from sterile and pure.
The best things in life spring up from manure.

I was able to draw my own conclusions from this poem and more importantly
it lightened my heart and made me understand that the fear that people were feeling
at that point in time did not mean anything.
So when I recently got the opportunity to interview the author - Michele Brenton - I jumped at it:)

So here goes:

Hi Michele ... Can you tell our author community of readers, a little about yourself?
Hi Vikram... I'll try..."

I had a lot of fun with this interview, Vikram asked some interesting questions and I did my best to be interesting in my replies. Even if you aren't interested in my shameless personal revelations - it is worth a look-see just to find out more about BookBuzzr which is something that every writer on authonomy ought to know about as it is free and a dream piece of armoury (for that read easy-to-use even for non techies) in the bid to find more readers ;)
