I should explain why I deleted your article. Wikipedia articles are reserved for people, places, books, etc. that are notable. It did not appear to me that John Lucas is a well-known author (he doesn't have an article of his own) or that the book is well known, therefore it does not meet the criteria for inclusion. However, if I am mistaken about the notability of the book or its author, then you need to re-write the article to reflect that. If the article was designed to promote a new book, then it would unfortunately meet the criteria for Spam. I hope this helps you understand how to move forward. Deb 11:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
