The man is a publishing powerhouse, with best sellers that arrive regularly at four-month intervals. He has four brand-name ideas up and running: rhymes (''Roses Are Red''), numbers (''1st to Die''), houses (''The Lake House'') and correspondence (''Sam's Letters to Jennifer,'' his latest). He averages three bo...
