    I'm writing a Science-Fiction novel which takes place on--where else? Mars.

    It will contain allegorical allusions to the Watch Tower.

    Do you think you'd be interested in it if I publish it?

    Yes!

    And I'll review it for you on my website, JWB - www.JehovahsWitnessBlog.com.

    Warm regards and good luck with your book!

    Though I am not a sci-fi fan I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD DO THIS BOOK.

    The best way to convey the complex reality of the corruption of a system is by a story that they only expect to entertain--not instruct them. It takes too much energy to explain the need to become informed of , say, the WT rotten tree/rotten fruit. Stories/parables come in sideways and invite deeper consideration of a matter for people that do not even want to listen.

    To use a familiar example--the bible's story of a wealthy man taking his neighbor's only pet lamb to butcher for his own feast allowed David to freely examine the crime he had committed against another man--stealing a soldier's wife and having sex with her--(and killing the man) as though he did not have many, many wives "at his disposal".

    Fiction often tells the truth in a more consumable form.

    I will be honest and say I won't buy it.

    I think you should write it though. You are doing something constructive with your time and it is helping you heal, and helping others heal. I would recommend you do other types of market research before you publish it.

    How are your other book sales going?

    Many authors get repeat business from existing customers.

    I hope my honesty helps you. Kate xx
