Interesting. I have at least three unpublished books... I have never figured out the key to getting published. I post them on the web and they seem to do fairly well.

It's because you're honest and a man of integrity. I'm not saying Wilcock isn't interesting, and he has hooks that draw you in. I commented because he uses a style I recognize. I'll spend some time and come up with an example im more depth of what I'm trying to say - not picking on him so much as the genre. Always big promises with the carrot just over the horizon.

I think it's VERY interesting that you have 3 unpublished books. I'll have to check that out. ;)

***the genre. Always big promises with the carrot just over the horizon***

You are probably right. I keep a verse by William Cullen Bryant posted around so I can always see it:
Truth crushed to earth will rise again
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies among her worshippers.

I tell my son that truth is a cheap commodity today; but one doesn't want to dwell on the negative.

***interesting that you have 3 unpublished books. I'll have to check that out***

I have posted some of the links on these Q threads, but don't have them available on this Kindle - lying in bed. You can find my mammoth Tolkien Dictionary by simply doing a search for same; I have related here about my differences with the Tolkien estate and how I wasted five years on the opus. sigh I will try to post the other links tomorrow.

ThanQ for the interest and encouragement. :^)
