We'll see if this holds once you read it. (Depending on what book gets published first, the reactions could be very varied. ) There's a reason I always say IF for publishing. You might not guess but I'm a strong self pessimist.
Books are useless! I only ever read one book, "To Kill A Mockingbird" and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds! Sure it taught me not to judge a man by the colour of his skin... but what good does that do me?
