Foveaux's book was auctioned at more than a million dollars, and Warner cast the top bid. Look at the value of your writing. It has to be really simple to make so much money. Simple is understandable, and that's what's buzz right now. You have to be yourself in your drama.
Publishers can spot phoniness in a minute.
The buzz appeal here was that the author is a real person in her writing. Whether you write romance or memoirs, write about real people who have values, morals, and a faith in something greater than themselves, such as God or something equally valuable to readers. Publishers who buy a book on its buzz value are buying simplicity. It is simplicity that sells and nothing else but simplicity. This is true for computer books or fiction.
