Not wishing to discourage Paul (or anybody else) because my hat is off to anyone who even finishes the first draft, but even when you've been published there's still no guarantee of sales. Several of my friends are published authors, but their books tend to end up in £1- book shops as publishers' remainders before being pulped for toilet paper. One friend buys all the £1- copies of his books so that when he's a Nobel laureate and finally has a readership in more than double figures he can make a killing by selling them at a profit.
