When I sat down to write the novel - the Accidental Audience - it was my first foray into fiction. Inside the pages is the content that I speak about from the stage as a Professional Speaker and telling the story (quasi autobiography) helped me share concepts and ideas in a fun and lively manner.
I really wanted to write a book that I wanted to read when I am tired at the end of a long travel day - flight delays and/or sitting on the deck in the afternoon sun.
