THE QUEST OF VERMILLION makes a comeback!!

Walt Disney quoted – “First, think.

Second, believe.

Third, dream.

And finally, Dare.”

I really wanted to share this comeback story because I feel perhaps somewhere, someone, might get some motivation. My book “THE QUEST OF VERMILLION“, was going through a steady road, love from readers was pouring in. Some messages on social media read, “Ma’am, this story touched my heart… Is it your own story?”….” When is your next book getting released?” …..”Ma’am, I can relate myself with the protagonist.”….This immense love motivated me to proceed with my next solo book, “AN UNEXPECTED DETOUR”. It got published as well. Belief strengthened. I got a heightened motivation to read more, acquire more ideas and knowledge, research more and write more!!

A couple of months ago, something unexpected happened. I won’t quote names here. It compelled me to take the call and terminate the contract of publication for THE QUEST OF VERMILLION……Due to the unfortunate situation, I could either let THE QUEST OF VERMILLION stay trapped in the same maze or invest my heart and efforts in giving it its deserved space….heart of my readers! But, I have never thought of giving up no matter how bad I felt internally…

What happened next? Well, I had faith in the story. I had faith in those loving words of my readers. I started working on getting a new avenue, a new route to get THE QUEST OF VERMILLION republished. Sending manuscripts, synopsis, connecting with publications, the efforts started. And, 4 publishers approved and were eager to taking the manuscript ahead into a book. I laid my trust on one of them and the work started. The full process I had to go through last time, had to be repeated. And, finally, after a wait of around a month and a half, THE QUEST OF VERMILLION is back with a new look, with beautiful illustrations (created by myself) that amplifies the theme.

THE QUEST OF VERMILLION has succeeded in its quest and those wounds could not affect it. It is available for all my readers. I am sure they are going to love the story.

If you have a dream, if you absolutely love the dream and harbor a passion for it, please don’t let it stay derailed… Please don’t give up…Challenges, setbacks are all a part of our passion just like success and achievements! Every setback can be transformed into a comeback.

What’s your comeback story?
