Also mentioned within the Education Forum discussion - Albarelli had potentially uncovered details linking Jack Crichton, an Army intel figure prominent in Dallas in 1963, to Skorzeny, as the former's career had led him to cross paths with the latter. Albarelli had mentioned this to an Education Forum member who posted it this week.
Albarelli had apparently finished 99% of the manuscript, and had one final polish and editorial pass to complete the week when he passed away. Albarelli had already discussed the final details and footnotes that were required with his writing partner, Leslie Sharp. After HP left us, Sharp posted on social media that she would finish that final polish to HP's specifications, and she did this over the last month or two, and then posted a photo of the completed manuscript, with a message to her friend HP that the work was finally done. So the book is now completed and being prepped for publication.
Skyhorse does take longer to prepare their books than Trine Day. They also have less typographical or layout errors in their works than Trine Day does. This isn't intended as a slight, just an observation. Trine Day published a long, well-received book on the Oklahoma bombing a couple of years ago. After it came out, the author stated on her website that the Trine Day book was prepped for publication in a hurry and suffered major issues with the indexing and/or footnotes, but these would be fixed in future editions. I don't believe a rectified second edition ever appeared, though perhaps it did and was never publicised. Regardless, it's best to get things right the first time.
A question was asked on the Education Forum as to who Leslie Sharp was. Several posters there familiar with her work vouched for her and said they were confident she was a reliable and helpful writing partner. And social media posts from HP confirmed that he had been working with her.
So yes, the book is coming out. And no, Skyhorse aren't working to suppress anything. And no, Leslie Sharp is not an undercover agent sent in by mysterious figures to cripple HP's book and censor his writing. The book was close to being finished, HP then passed away, Sharp then finished the book in the manner that HP had discussed with her, and Skyhorse will be bringing the book out next year.
James, if you post further paranoid speculation in this thread asserting a conspiracy to suppress HP's book, I'm just going to ignore your posts on this subject. You've made the same arguments a few times here, and it's getting tiresome.
