RE: [Paddlewise] Authors I would like to see

Thanks for the kind words Ralph. Having written two "best sellers" in small
fields (Freestyle Skiing and Deep Trouble) I can tell you that writing a
book for a small audience is an exercise in how to remain impoverished. As
much as I might like to have my say in a book, it would be very costly for
me to do so. I certainly don't write for the money, but the wages per hour
are so low that I'd just as soon give the information out for free on our
website and avoid the book publishing hassles. This is what Cam and I have
done with the manuals we had originally written for our customers benefit
(as soon as we had a website and therefore a way to distribute them cheaply
to a wide audience).
Okay PW's guessing game time. Let's hear some guesses as to how much money I
have earned in royalties and advances (before taxes) for "Deep Trouble" over
the last 3 years since it came out (Note: I get about 60% of the royalties
on that book).
