'Trap, Prey, Lust' the hidden sexual crimes of the rich and famous
BLOG
Carolyn Shanti was out and about in London today raising funds for her book 'Trap, Prey, Lust', a novel about sexual crimes against women and children based on her own true story of childhood sexual abuse. She will be the first to donate to the 'crowdfunding campaign' starting in September organized by the PR company promoting the book. The campaign is destined to raise funds still needed for printing, editing and marketing costs for the book.
Each day this week Shanti will be out in locations around London raising money. Today she was outside Waterstone's bookstore in Hampstead. Shanti said "Everyone gave something, a little time, their good wishes and a little money. It was a wonderful feeling to have the support of all these lovely people".
Shanti is now working on a new book 'My Friend Ruchi', the unveiling of a friendship, its roots steeped in ancient and mystical India. But she will not stop there: in offering her work as a volunteer for a charity in India that runs holistic retreats she has taken on a small job offering her services as a blogger for 'Steemit', a global blogging company. Shanti says "I suppose I will be writing blogs for other people on how to cook 'mushy peas' or on bubble gum disposal. Who knows, but it will pay the rent and help with publishing costs".
She thanks everyone today in Hampstead for their generosity and gratitude to Snappy Snaps, Hampstead team, for the donation of the photograph.
I’m really glad having new writers coming to this amazing platform. I’m wishing you the best in your steemit journey and hopefully being able to read some of your stories. I also wish you success with your new and upcoming books. I know how taugh it is just to get published, since I follow few writers here on steemit and am witnessing their process of trying to get their books published. It’s taugh and long process. Well, you’ve already achieved it and that’s already called a great success.
Heart-warming welcome!!!
Hi there. Many thanks . I hope that the book with raise awareness about sexual abuse. I am a survivor, it has taken me five years to heal from this childhood abuse. I also hope to help women in recovery and offer sessions and workshops. Thanks for your inspiring support.
Hey, thanks so much. It is hard going sometimes but I am going to enjoy Steemit and the community a lot.

Hello New Friends,

Thanks for your welcome. Every day should be a fresh day, like the breath, always fresh, new contacts, reconnecting and enjoying everyone. This picture reminds me of the women who I write about in my book, those who have been unfortunate to experience sexual abuse. There are 54,000 children a year that suffer this trauma in the UK each year. It has to stop. I hope to make a difference
Very nice, good to have your wishes
