Congratulations to Selma on the publication of the book and the successful Goa launch. Also to Goa 1556 for bringing out the printed word in Goa. It has never been easy publishing books and reaching a wide audience in the Goan diaspora, now made even challenging with the web (although it does help spread word about the books). As Silviano Barbosa famously remarked a few years ago, he could have made more money selling sausages wrapped in pages of his THE SIXTH NIGHT than actually selling THE SIXTH NIGHT.
I hope Goans continue to support our authors.
