Bestsellers in the Making...

Sometimes I wonder about my writing life thus far. I've written three books, but I've never started from the right end and asked, what might sell well? I've never asked in advance, at the outset, "What can I write that will answer to what other people need to read right now?" Maybe I should. In the meantime, here are a few book ideas that I consider non-starters:
