I thought at the time it would be a popularist book and that someone must have written something like it, but when I researched I found a lot of books on lies in particular areas and a few seriously academic books but nothing light-hearted, easy read with a punch. Why do we lie to others seems simple but why do we lie to ourselves?  I finished the book in March 2009, Penguin kept it for four months before turning it down saying they could not publish enough copies to make it a viable project. So I am doing it myself through createspace, Amazon&#8217;s publish on demand outlet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whilst I can see this is useful as a way of being published I do not lose sight of the fact that the work must stand on its own two-feet, be of a standard, proof read and well edited and have a strong conceptual basis. POD is not a magic wand that will get one noticed, but it is a way of circumventing the wholly business orientated world of publishers and agents and the deeply corrupt way they do business.  The last thing I need to do is edit in the cartoons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I shall post for information in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book started as an idea in December 2008.
