   You know what?  I didn't think I was qualified to say, but I didn't   
   think Completely sanitize every hint of Christianity from a book with   
   demons in it was a good correction.  There are a lot of mediocre TV   
   shows where it doesn't seem to make much difference in the popularity.   
      
   Anyhow, I'm sorry you didn't get a normal book deal, and I hope you   
   don't let it steal your mojo.
