I am an old prof (or I used to be one in my previous life) so I should know how to teach. I am working on an outline of a book on energy derivatives and I should send you the first draft next week..

I really enjoyed reading them and think you have an excellent pedagogical writing style. From what I have seen I would very much like to encourage you to put a book proposal together on Energy Risk Management. Saying that, I would still be interested in discussing the idea of a book on credit derivatives for the energy market...but perhaps this could follow! My reading of your chapter on Exotic Options is that it walked a good balance between serving the needs of the risk manager, whilst also providing some of the more technical material for the 'quants' in an appendix. This sort of level would probably be appropriate for a new book on the topic. I thought your 'Concluding Remarks: Practical Considerations' really interesting stuff and something that might work really well if it were embedded into the main body of the text? The key to such a book is that it is written by an energy market expert who can bring a wealth of experience and insight into how to structure risk management products specifically for this market. The panel sections (a Risk book house style?) worked well, but one could structure to differentiate between case vignettes, 'hints and tips', definitions and so on. As I say, I would very much welcome the opportunity of receiving a book proposal from you. This could be based around the structure of your lecture course? Do you think you would be able to provide me with a table of contents, with abstracts under each chapter heading as a starting point? I very much hope so and very much look forward to hearing from you! With kind regards Sam Samantha Whittaker Senior Publishing Editor, Finance John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
