b1-67er: Hmmm. I don't think I agree on his take. Some of his success is for sure because he was willing to write 10× the amount of stuff that he gets published. That's not lucky. That's just hard work and perseverance.  His book may not have been the best that year, but it was voted best because it was at least very good. That's not lucky, that's some combo of hard work and talent.
