Gary,

Right on, my friend!

I have learned the truth about publishers in the last two years.

Conversation with representative of major "new age" publisher who has done
several UFO books.  Absolutely true.  She listened to my proposal in detail for
about twenty minutes, and then she said, "Gee, it sounds like this might be
real!"  I said, yes it probably was real.  "Oh, we wouldn't be interested.
That's just too scary!"

I've had this same conversation, in several variations, with most of the major
publishers who have UFO titles in their catalog.

Bottom line from these publishers, if it is fluff, nonsense and bullsh**, they
are delighted to publish it, and the sooner the better.  If it is a serious book
based on real research into a probably real phenomenon, they won't touch it with
a ten foot pole. I'm sure this attitude accounts for the overall low quality of
books in this field.

If anyone has access to a publisher with a more enlightened point of view, I'd
sure like to hear about it.  I've written and co-written eighteen books so far,
all about photographic topics, and never encountered anything like this weird
attitude.  It took me totally by surprise, and really makes no sense.
