I had trouble bringing your link up
The article I was able to google is titled
"How Dan Brown's wife unlocked the code to bestseller success "
Joanna Walters and Alice O'Keeffe
Sunday March 12, 2006
The Observer
but here are some interesting tidbits from the article
""But the court has already heard that Blythe was the research expert behind some of the most colourful and intriguing themes in the work, which involves a search for the Holy Grail via clues hidden in Leonardo da Vinci's paintings.
Hitherto barely heralded, the older, more glamorous half of the Browns is emerging as, if not the 'real brains' behind The Da Vinci Code, then certainly a creative energy as indispensable to her husband as the Mona Lisa herself.
The reclusive and childless New Hampshire couple are a formidable literary team. Blythe, 53, the 'silent partner', has been her husband's artistic lodestar ever since they formed a relationship in Los Angeles 16 years ago. She is cited by Brown, 41, as his 'inspiration'...
Little is known about The Solomon Key, the sequel to The Da Vinci Code, other than Dan Brown has confirmed it is set 'within the oldest fraternity in history ... the Masons'. The lack of detail, however, has not prevented code-crackers from trying to predict its plot. On websites such as cultofdanbrown.com and darkprotocols. com, speculation has been raging.""
It seems Baigent and Leigh et al have sued the wrong person ! The real power behind the scenes is Dan's wife. So behind every great man really IS a great woman, who'da thunk it ?

Hi All,
Anyone know how many books have been written in an attempt to refute Dan's "novel"? Me go giddy at the number... from Evangelisto to Vaticano! Refuting Dan has become an industry. He shall give work even unto the sinner! Bless him.  Rosey

Both my mom and my sister-in-law are German, but my German is limited to counting to ten and saying good night. So here's Babelfish's entertaining translation. --------- Born in 1964 years Dan Brown has at the University of "Amhurst" studied and "Filips Ekzetur" where it ain few years English also taught. Its father was a mathematician, who gets a president price has. Its nut/mother ordered professionally religion music. Its wife was Spezialistin on history of the art and also painter.
Now Dan Brown is as a writer world well-known. Everything has its lecture in the year 1995 if begun the lecturer in the university haltete. There without warning to have agents secretion of the Survice came and to have one of the students arrestiert, because it was danger for national security. The "danger" was that this student sent an email to friend, in which he writes that it hates president Kenedi much and it must shoots to become. Secret Survice placed some questions at it and then to have them it to release. And that was those end of history. But Dan brown has itself only one question posed....wie could secretion Survice about this email know and why at all know it that, how can be?! It has itself over it much interested and the more information it looks for the interesting things it invents. It experienced national security over very large organization, their name was organization. For this basis it has to decide a novel to write.
It has you luck had if it into electronic forums with people, which worked into this organization and which it some harmless information about it to have given. So hate it step with step its first novel ` Zifferburg` publishes.
He worked never in this range, was unknown unt decides its novel in the InterNet to bring and all becomes from the InterNet its novel rausgehen from Website against payment. That had very large first attempt. Soon ` Saint Martins Press` publishing house really published the book. Later Dan Brown and publishing house worked ` Poket Buks` in a publishing house. The next book was ` the sixth Klage`. A good mixture of science, history and art and my opinion also persoenlichе Assumptions and theory. Finally Dan Brown its novel begins ` Sakrileg The there Vinci Code`, which admits to dueser Yeit much is. Only it only 5000 is printed and then still 5000 etc.. The at the beginning 210,000 copies are sold and to have them to 270,000 rise.
This novel of first attempt a very large success and the whole world was undisputed reads the books of Dan Brown, but ebdlich everyone has to lessen the right, which pleases it and does not run which straight.
