Just curious...

It was David Forrest being mentioned in the previous threads that started me thinking.

How do publishing companies decide what material of a specific author they want to publish, particularly if the author is diseased? Take Jack London and Jules Verne for example. I am not London fan, but I adore the Hearts of Three, yet very few people know of it and it is not published in the UK. Same with Verne's Children of Captain Grant (In Search of the Castaways). Considering the last encompassed Jules Verne's own around the world travels and was one of his favourites why is it barely known nowadays and denied its readers?

[JustSia]

lol, trust me. What one letter can do ha? Obviously it was meant to be deceased.

Yeah, sorry JustSia - I don't normally point out spelling mistakes, but that one was great! Worthy of eats, shoots and leaves.

hey, you don't know half of it. English is my second language. I never studied it just sort of picked it up with time. Well in the beggining i used to go to KFC and ask for corn on a cob but instead of first c - n. You can imagine the looks I got. I should really complain coz I never got what I ordered. What happened to the customer always right?
