By the way, you get up into about the 8-10k copies sold and some major players in New York publishing will become very interested in you. My own publisher, Penguin, is starting a conservative imprint called Sentinel, though I don't know if they'll handle fiction at this point. You might want to get in touch with them.

Yo Snake! I liked everything about your second book better than the first except the cover art. (probably cause I'm an old fart and the heroes looked young) :)

My theory is that the there is a market for conservative fiction. I see the wave which launched Clancy's pro-military techno-fiction merging with the Regnery/Coulter wave of conservative non-fiction.

Some imprint with vision is going to pick up on this, and we'll all be off to the races. Regnery could start a fiction division, but for now they're not interested. I think they're missing a golden opportunity. Millions and millions of Americans, who scoop up every new conservative non-fiction release, are eager to read the conservative fiction which the liberal PC-ridden NYC publishers will not touch.

Just look at the amazing success of the poorly-written "Left Behind" series among conservative rapture believers. There is some great conservative fiction out there (EFAD, if I might say) which is far superior to the Left Behind books.
