Who is Melanie Phillips, and why should we believe a word she writes?

There are 37 references to this on Google. All are quotes and requotes 
of Melanie Phillips' original unsupported posting.

Can you please provide some independent evidence that this Prize is any

A very big coup for a very minor publisher, or crank writing finding its 
own level?

And look at what other books Jim Nelson Black has been involved with....

Yada, yada, yada.

Please resolve the above for us, and maybe then we can think about
