Community is the most motivating force for me. I have often found situations where I have done more and better things because there was community around me. My latest book SQL Server Interview Questions and Answers is the result of the community’s support and love. Without the wide acceptance of the community I would have never reached where I am. Thank you!
Recently, the kind folks of INETA APAC – Sanjay Shetty and Raj Chaudhuri – conducted an interview with myself and Vinod Kumar (co-author of my book). We had lots of fun during the interview. Sanjay asks questions which, even as an author, I did not think of. My hope is that talking more about our book will help the community in the same way they all helped motivate me to write this book. Another benefit of the interview was that Raj always has questions which dig out the secrets of the book publishing business. Well, we answered each question candidly. When the interview was about to be over – we realized that book publishing is indeed long process and, just like us, many need help understanding this subject.
I know that I cannot be the only person who ever dreamed of becoming a published author. We would like to offer help to anybody who wants to write book. Writing this one book has taught us a lot and we are eager to share our hard-earned knowledge with you. If you have also written a technical book about computers, SQL Server, or just technology in general, I know that we will be able to help you in some way. Even if you are the sort of person who writes short stories in their free time, give us a try and we might be able to help you, too!
Once again: Thanks Sanjay and Raj for giving us the honor to be featured in an interview with you.

Great Interview Sir,
You guys are really having good time in the interviews. I can’t imagine how hard it was for you guys to self publish your book. I really got inspired by you guys.
Thanks,
Ashish
It sounds fantastic to me. I had a great desire to write a book chapter. But I could not get any chance to be engaged for that. I have written a scientific journal on Bilateral Negotiation between web services on Grid Computing domain. I am not an expert on SQL like you guys. however, I would like to contribute to your book writing. In that case I would need your guide and assistance.
Great interview and nice sharing of thoughts and ideas. Thanks to you and vinod for offering your services for any one who is interested in publishing books. Hope one day i can contribute for a chapter in a book written by you folks.
Thank you
