Well, I have learned that "in the works" is a LONG way from "in the can". Also, I've looked at all the survival-related books sold on Amazon and have not found one that goes to anything near the degree of detail I'm providing.
Yesterday I bought my ISBN number ... so it won't be long. If I don't sell a copy I'll just be happy to be through burning the midnight oil every night.
I have published successfully previously (journals and books). You are quite right about some of the hoops.
In my book I am taking a different approach to some of the problem solving that I have never seen in print or presentation. Only doing it since I have gotten so many requests after my presentations.
