But I work on the assumption that the information always wants to be free. So I would encourage you to share away. Make it public and available. Your use of that information and your own story will make it unique. Other people will have their take on the information as it may relate to them. And that will be unique to them. That's their story. Together it is hoped that we all, you, me, everyone looking on, get a bigger and better picture of these hidden history. We all have a right to know. You especially.
As always, thank you for the kind words and helpful advise, I don't believe it could hurt me as I believe that I will go into more detail than Roger would on the subject, I'm beginning to think that helping my fellow authors by adding any missing pieces of this huge puzzle would allow us all to benefit from.
I'm sure if I was looking for information he would do the same, and help me out. And so, on that note, I'll be sure to get him what he needs before the release of his book. Thanks for the advise.
I'm with Magda here. I've usually found that freely helping other authors with their research is a good thing, and that most appreciate it. There's exceptions to this rule, of course, a few people who abuse your generosity, but that's to be expected.
Scott, I'd only advise you, if you give him the materials to sign an understanding with both him and his publisher, that you are to be given clear credit for the materials. That will help both your reputation and your book when it comes out, IMO.
I'm just now reading this, and it's GREAT! advise, thanks Peter!
