First, my apologies to those that get this posting more than once 

because of cross-posting.



I am seeking co-authors for an ASP.NET book. It is a niche book (not one 

of those all-you-can-eat endless tomes). It will have a smaller audience 

than the more general ASP.NET books, but it will have less direct 

competition (although every .NET book is competition in some fashion). 

Here's the deal. The book is slated to be 16 chapters (totalling approx. 

350 pages). I have written 2 chapters already, and I need 2 co-authors 

to help me tackle the rest. Recent fatherhood has taken its toll on my 

free time ;-)



BIG DISCLAIMER:

---------------------------

Accepting this co-authorship is NOT going to make you rich...Not even 

close...Even if I signed over every penny of the book profits, it still 

wouldn't be that much...If you want to get involved, do it as a resume 

builder, for pride, because you want to break into book writing, 

etc...Before you contact me (off-line), please read Charles Carrolls' 

article on writing books at 

(http://www.learnasp.com/advice/bookwriter.asp). While it is quite a 

depressing read, it is all (unfortunately) true. There are many rewards 

to writing a book, but very few authors enjoy good money as one of them.



That said, if you are still interested, please contact me (contact info 

below)...I can fill you in on the details (eg. the book title, tentative 

due dates, the table of contents, etc...)...Thanx!
