Such is life. Not that I have ever got any negative or incredulous or challenging comments in the email address I judiciously appended every week. All I ever got was praise, pleas for further explanation on specific topics, and requests to purchase any books I have written. People, I suppose, really can sense Truth from go goga letlhaku (yarn-spinning)…it’s only that some can’t face it.
Regarding my books, I long allowed them to quickly go out-of-print because they kept getting overtaken by events as my discoveries ran deeper and deeper. In the process I had to dodge orders from established retailers like Exclusive Books and great libraries like the US Library of Congress – establishments any author would ‘kill’ to have their books displayed in. And I could dodge only because I fully self-publish and control my own work; I am able to write, design and format a complete, illustrated and indexed book. (Note: this was not because I had no offers from publishers; for better or worse I actually turned down overtures from at least two established publishers.) I instead decided that I will only write again once my knowledge-gathering reaches a plateau of sorts…a stage where I had now satisfied myself of all the major questions that were still swirling in my head. But never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that I could unearth so much so quickly…questions that have flummoxed researchers for centuries, even millennia.
