Here, eat this root.&quot;<br /> ~Author Unknown

&quot;Write what you care about and understand. Writers should never try to outguess the marketplace in search of a salable idea; the simple truth is that all good books will eventually find a publisher if the writer tries hard enough, and a central secret to writing a good book is to write on that people like you will enjoy.&quot;<br /> Richard North Patterson
