Today, I spoke to my publisher, and we agreed that
Soap! The house of Ptolemy and the house of Seleucus does not immediately raise interest in Holland. Pity for the Dutch; therefore, postponed until they want to be educated.
The man who accepted his responsibility. A life of Synesius of Cyrene is too specialist. Still, it is worth to keep it in mind. A brief monography may be nice.
Studying Antiquity: Historical, archaeological, and philological theory, methods, perspectives has no market outside the universities. And probably not in the universities, too. There are several German books, and one postmodernist English one; they are not part of the standard course for BA students. The exception is the Free University, and the one who wrote the text is yours truly. Most universities think this is for post-grads.
Persepolis. A guide is a good second choice; problem is the color print. The publisher thinks it will become cheaper.
The men from Atlantis. Von Däniken, Carotta, Vergeer, Velikovsky, and other pseudo-scholars: this one, I had to leave, because I wanted to do this with a co-author who will have a new job soon. Still, combining this book and the theoretical one, may be an option.
Which leaves: Origins of Judaism and Christianity (200 BCE - 200 CE). I think I will have to post a lot on this subject the next year and a half or so.
