Someone thought this was a good enough idea to spend $5-8 million to develop the concept.

There so much cash being derived from just about anything that can be marketed as Christian today that I'm actually only surprised there haven't more before this.

On a related note, Thomas Nelson just bought Integrity.

Well, I guess he'd have to. You can't appear on the Match Game that many times and still be able to look at yourself in the mirror. Oh...wait...I thought you meant Thomas Nelson Riley.

On a related note, I just picked up on eBay a three-pack of Integrity, Compassion and Forgiveness.

Seriously, Sly, I have no idea what you're talking about.

http://www.publishersweekly.com/article ... s&nid=2667 for info on Nelson and Integrity.

I'm just upset -- the publisher of the Left Behind game was supposed to be sending out free copies to churches, and I never got mine.

{edit} and it was Charles Nelson Riley.

I was wondering why Integrity's website was having issues. I was hoping they would publish my book, but that might be sketchy now.

All of the Integrity editors are still employed by Thomas Nelson last I heard. I think they are keeping the Integrity name for marketing purposes for the time being.

Finish up your manuscript and then network with publishers like crazy. I have a feeling the type of book you've inferred you are writing will be something the publishers have an interest in.

In case you are wondering why I know anything about this, my wife is a literary publicist who handles many Integrity & Thomas Nelson accounts. And I have a number of authors in my family as well.

Well, I did intentionally select the genre because there's a huge market but less writers. A good friend of mine is an editor, and although she publishes non-fiction, she says that it really has a good chance of being published.

I have an agent that I'm talking to, but the reason I like Integrity is because all of my favorite Christian fiction authors are published through them. I figured they would keep the name, but sometimes what they are looking for changes.
