Hello there! Wonderful to hear from you and thank you for leaving a comment at the opening gambit for my novel "The Gambler"!

Yes, I am looking to publish a book ASAP but I have the opposite of the Midas touch when it comes to talking to publishers/agents etc and seem to be highly skilled in the Art of alienating people and losing influence.

My email address is devereux9000@gmail.com

BEST,

MATT
