Phew!

Mr. Larry the mysterious one.

Now i understand the sequel after reading this.

I love the twists. Unlike Nollywood movies where i know where it'll end from the begining. You got me using my brain to decipher the next line of action. I like that!

I saw a comment telling u to get published. I think i'm seconding that.

"No one is interested in the process but the product". So Mr. Larry, go out there and get published. It'll add more to your feathers. Remember your character, Ariel, in the sequel. Let the challenges make you.

Thank you so much, sir, for reading. I'm happier that you enjoyed reading it. I promise never to disappoint you, sir.

About publishing; I want to get published, I want to get published than anything else. But, unfortunately, publishing seems like a tough venture. With many attempts, I've discovered that you have to be connected with people of high status for you to get published with good publishers. I don't want to settle for less. I refuse to acknowledge the offers of the mushroom publishers who offer only paltry sums. This isn't pride; it's just that I've sacrificed too much for my stories to allow them fade into obscurity after a few months of getting published. I know nobody; I'm just a simple guy who lives alone with a table, chair, pen and paper. Many have advised me to delve into self-publishing, but fund is also another tiny straw. I finished The Brand of Cain in 2010; after five years, it has gotten to that stage where I'm no more in haste to get published. Funny enough, my frustration inspired me to create the Ariel character in the sequel . I'm sure that one day, somehow, my stories will bloom to the world. The light at the end of the bridge is what keeps me going; it's what's making me plot stories over stories, and I'm not going to stop until I give my last sigh, even if that light I see in the tunnel is the flash of an oncoming train, I'll remain steadfast.

Thank you so much, sir, for your concern. May God bless you and your family. Hopefully, one day, you will lie in your cosy room reading a paperback by Larry Sun .

I normally think ahead of the authors of crime/detective novels, and most times, I arrive @ d correct conclusions before I get to d end of d novel... But larry, u were so Ǧ☺☺ϑ, I didn't K№ω where to start from. I found it hard making a meaningful theory that will help me solve the mystery... (Maybe cuz I stopped reading novels abt 5yrs ago or just cuz u r damn too gud)...

I comot my cap for u joor... I pray u get published...

semid4lyfe:
WOW! WOW! WOW!

Just finished the novel like 5 minutes ago and all I'll say is "awesome and close to a masterpiece"

The plot was "tight" with it's many twists & turns. All loose ends were neatly tied up without actually being tied firmly. . .the reason for the sequel.

Obviously, a lot of research went into your writing of this book and it didn't all emanate from the brain. Still, I couldn't help feeling some of the settings, language and mannerism of some of the characters was "un-Nigerian". Another thing is over-description and over-explanation dey worry you the novel.

All in all, a very interesting and brilliant novel. To SMS, THE BRAND OF CAIN IS THE BEST LITERARY WORK I'VE READ BY A NLDer and I'm glad I voted for you in the poll.

Holla at me when it's published cos I'll definitely cop a copy. On to the next one - The Paradox of Abel

Lest I forget. . .Larry, you sabi English o
