What's it actually like to try to publish a Mormon-themed book?

As an author, how many copies are you likely to sell, and how much money do you stand

to make?

And how do Mormon authors view the implications of the recent acquisition of Seagull Book

and Tapes and Covenant Communications by Desire at Book?

As we continue part three in our series on this acquisition, we interview Christopher

Bigelow, president of ZerehamlaBooks.com, an author of multiple Mormon-themed books,

including Mormonism for Dummies and the Mormon Tabernacle Inquirer.

Also, while this episode covers Christopher's journey as an author of Mormon-themed books,

including more on Christopher's early years and his time as a writer for Ensign Magazine.
