Jim,

Do select the topic for all of your books or are you requested by the publisher to consider a specific topic? Just curious how much say in the topic you have or to you ever get pushed into a certain topic because that is what the publisher feels will sell.

No, it is I who comes up with the book ideas. I did hear an editor once say there was a need for a good fish book and that sort of inspired me. Usually the publisher and I are on the same page in that we both want books that will sell.
