Self-published reviews.There is something to be said about the author who finds his or her own means to get their works published; the idea of "By any means necessary By any means necessary is a translation of a phrase coined by the French intellectual Jean Paul Sartre in his play Dirty Hands. I was not the one to invent lies: they were created in a society divided by class and each of us inherited lies when we were born. " takes on a whole new meaning with this growing trend. Here is a listing of a few newly released titles. A New Thing by Odessa Drayton-Iton Drayton-Iton Communications October 2004, $15, ISBN ISBN abbr.

The book is written in diary form and expresses with great detail her experiences. At first I found it to be a book of complaints, however valid the complaints may be. I can't agree with every sentiment that Williams relates to the reader but realize that her words are a valid, intrinsic element of the consciousness of the writer and a great many people.
