Third Edition of Searching for Ropens

image_pdfimage_print

A true-life adventure in cryptozoology–that focus, in the third edition of the non-fiction book Searching for Ropens, will replace the creationist emphasis in previous editions. (A new book will cover religious and philosophical perspectives regarding living pterosaurs.) Traditional book publishing requires clear genre positioning, and the first two editions of SFR (published-on-demand) were mixed, emphasizing both adventure and religion.

The religious perspectives of the explorers will not be hidden in the new edition, for their searches for living pterosaurs in Papua New Guinea were inspired by their beliefs. The content of the revision, however, will not be used as a preaching podium to convince readers to become creationists.

The new clarity of genre should increase sales of the book greatly, bringing the news of living-pterosaur investigations to much more of the general public. The publisher should be determined later in 2010.

[Note: Searching for Ropens and Finding God was published in April of 2014. The content was, indeed, less like trying to convince non-creationists to believe in a young earth and more like trying to convince everyone to communicate better and to listen to those with different origin philosophies. This third edition is also much larger than any other nonfiction book ever written about modern living pterosaurs, AKA flying dragons or pterodactyls.]
