Some of you are under the delusion that I’m really famous and well-paid. Well, I’m neither. Who cares, right, but my point is that while I’m glad my work impacts the people it does, the field is still wide open. For example, to satisfy the curiosity of some (who sometimes post snide comments about my "lucrative" book writing career) I might pull in about $14,000 on book royalties this year – total. Sounds great? That’s on 12 books in print. Do the math. Second point – and this is what actually inspired this post. Someone encountered a diocesan director of youth ministry over the weekend. The fellow had never heard of me, never heard of any of my books – not the Prove Its, not Here.Now, all of which were specifically written for his constituents. Evidently the crack marketing powers of Catholic publishing have struck again.
