				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was pretty obvious from his blog that Ovidiu writes well. But from a blog to a full-fledged fiction book there&#8217;s a long way, at least theoretically. In reality it took one year since he promised himself and his daughter Sofia that he will write a book.</p>
<p>Interestingly, he&#8217;d started with a completely different subject, but the Mana idea flew in sideways and was so strong it took priority over everything else, until the book was finished.</p>
<p><em>Good</em> ideas tend to display this kind of behavior. </p>
<p>The book is excellent. I won&#8217;t say anything about the subject, but I want to say something about the pursuit of quality characterizing everything about this project. The book will be published on amazon.com, both a paper and an ebook version, in English, at the latest international standards. The book is the main subject of the new <a href="http://budofcore.com" target="_blank">author website</a>, it has a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MANA.TheBook" target="_blank">facebook page</a>; you can also follow the author on <a href="https://twitter.com/OviSla" target="_blank">twitter</a> or <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/112365981262226135304/posts" target="_blank">google+</a>. </p>
<p>Obviously, if you like and share it, thanks in advance!</p>
<p>If you are curious about various things &#8211; why on amazon, why in English, why Mana, what is it about, etc. &#8211; you are kindly invited to have a look at the links above and &#8220;follow&#8221; the happenings; the author gladly answers questions, offers details, teasers, context.</p>
<p>If you want to read the book without knowing anything in advance &#8211; I&#8217;ll let you know when it&#8217;s published <img src='http://explorish.net/footsteps/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Ok, one thing I&#8217;ll say about it: The subtitle is <em>&#8220;The Universe doesn&#8217;t look at itself in the mirror&#8221;</em>. </p>
