The readers will get to take a look into her life. This book alone will make you fall in love with main character and leave you anticipating more.

PD: Word of mouth and social media are the keys to my success.
JP: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take you to start and finish “The Hustler’s Daughter”?
