AWWWWWWW...SNIFFLE

RHETT PASCUAL WRITES IN, SECONDLY:

Right on the heels of his fiancee's attempt to make my book be about their wedding, Rhett un-subtly tries to do the same. To wit, his second blurb contribution:

Eileen Tabios' book is most moving. Particularly when the character Rhett says about his soon-to-be-wife Michelle:

"In a life, there comes a moment when you decide whether to be a catalyst or a substrate, to become greater than life or be average, to take the plunge to change oneself or to stay the same. I owe who I am and what I am to the alchemist Michelle Bautista.

"For centuries, alchemists have tried to transform lead into gold. For years, alchemists have failed. But now, in a period of seven years, the alchemist Michelle Bautista has turned a scared, poor invididual into a caring, humorous, rich man. An impossibility has become a reality! What a superb story.

"I could have married another person and my life would have been okay. But being with Michelle has made 'okay' unacceptable. Because of her, I search for courage instead of cowering in fear; I laugh instead of cringing; I live for the now instead of wallowing for the past. I am what I am because of her."
