No it wasn't the 300K actually - it was because she seemed so down to earth and wasn't particularly eloquent and because I am also as common as muck I thought I could do that...no problem.

Unfortunately I found out that it isn’t that easy but I am persevering. Just one thing though I don’t think talking about financial reward should be a taboo subject after all publishing is a commercial business.
