The How to Write for Success Literary Forum has produced four Amazon no 1 bestseller
books in the last two years.
Our reputation for producing bestsellers is unbeatable, and this new release, BREAK THE SILENCE - VOLUME 2, is our 5th bestseller.
It is no secret that domestic violence has been on the rise during these Covid times.
Daily newspaper reports can confirm this.
Many persons have lost their jobs, and even homes,
because of the severe economic downturn the pandemic has incurred.
Businesses are closing down everywhere, and workers are left on the breadline.
Both sexes
suffer from domestic violence by their partners, or others.
The lack of finances has prevented many from seeking professional advice..
When I read the newspaper on the morning of February 12th, 2020, and saw the murder/suicide of a wife and
husband I was appalled.
I penned a poem about the incident immediately.
The newspapers reported that the couple was in love and got married.
I wondered how could love made in heaven turn sour and result in hatred and murder.
I was inspired to do an Anthology of Poems Against Domestic Violence.
Together with 87 poets of the How to Write for Success Literary Network, we published BREAK THE
SILENCE, and it attained the rank of Bestseller No 1.
More than a year has passed and with the rising cases of abuse seen daily, we have decided to publish
a second volume.
We believe that persons in abusive situations must speak out
against this menace in our society, and as writers, we will support them.
We congratulate all participating poets.
The Kindle Version is FREE.
