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.
