What works for John works for John. Some of you want to create works of art and that's great. John just wants to write some stories and he has a good time doing it. What's your problem? Not everyone can be as talented as some of you, nor have such lofty goals. He knows he's not a great writer. He just likes to entertain with stories. Nothing wrong with that.

"I eventually realized that different people have different motives for writing."Michael Wallace

I think it is an inspiration that a guy without any training can write entertaining books that people want to read and can sell over a million copies of his stories.

He has a good idea of what his target market wants to read and he produces it. His marketing may be good, but if he didn't have titles readers enjoyed--they wouldn't continue to buy them and read them.

At this point, he's got such an established fanbase that he could be pumping out neanderthal erotica or stories about a horse that runs a detective agency and still be shifting copies.

His readers would turn on him. You really sound like you are jealous of his success.
