Default Re: The Diesel is back, with some unbelievable news

I am not famous, and I am not a writer, which is why I had trouble even believing that this was happening at first. When discussing why they would want me, of all people, one of the publishers compared this to the reality TV boom. The popularity of reality TV shows has been through the roof, and they are looking for ways to expand the normal top selling books.

He explained it that the top selling fictional books were similar to the regular comedy and drama TV shows that had dominated, up until Survivor hit the scene and spawned all of these reality based TV shows. My publisher is looking for a way to expand the book business beyond fictional novels and self-help books, and thinks that this may be the new big thing.
