And what would I want to take with me?' explains author, Andrew Hood. When asked what the book was about, he'd reply, 'Perspective. It is all about perspective. I invite my readers to consider the perspective they have in their own lives and question if they are seeing everything the way they should. Do they consider themselves a victim in life, or are they lucky with the opportunities they have? Sometimes it is all a matter of perspective.''There is no going back for me now,' he said. The sequel to The Man Who Corrupted Heaven will be called The Man Who Settled the Score and it is due for release 2021 by Shawline Publishing Group Australia.
