I hope you sell many copies and that many people are exposed to your work. If Reza and O'Reilly can do it, you should be able to as well. :)

The book sounds excellent from the reviews. Do you deal with the claims of those who keep pushing the Talpiot tomb as evidence that Jesus had a wife and son in the book (I have not really followed the debate on this one except when it pops up on the "Bible & Interpretation" site)? Anyways, I look forward to reading it sometime and will overlook where you are wrong on Secret Mark ;)
