Yes, copyright is mine. At the moment, we are sorting out all these technicalities and a contract would be signed with the publisher, Marshall & Cavendish (Times Publishing Group) in Singapore soon.

Writing books as a commercial venture is not lucrative for many to attempt at. The biggest BookStore, MPH at Megamall has shrunk and relocated elsewhere in the Mall! People hardly read today. Probably e-books will do better in thee future.
