Description:
I currently have one book published, another will be published this week. I have a Valuation Letter from Roger Riddell (google for info) stating the project is worth 2-4 million, with a life time of 10 years and a total value of 40 million. I have another Valuation Letter from Buddy Winston (lead writer for the 'Tonight Show') placing a value on the work of 1-2 million first tier, that is without film rights. I am looking for funds to promote the project.
The first book 'Clay County Chronicles, The True Story of Jesus and Elvis in Vegas' lends itself to a one man stage play similar to Hal Holbrook's 'A Night With Mark Twain', which has been running for twenty years.
I have a Ural (see (URL removed)) the only motorcycle sidecar built in the world, ordered. I plan on traveling the country with the dog in the side car the books in the trunk and the girlfriend editor on the back. According to Riddell, its a PR dream and a natural for all the talk shows. Not only is 'Clay County' funny as hell it also addresses fundamental issues like right and wrong, issues that have allowed our country to begin its slide into second rate.
I have a total of five titles that will be published this year. One, 'Black Mountain Sonata' has been mentioned for a Pulitzer Prize for fiction. It is said by Carol Wolfson (the woman after whom the term 'life coach' was coined) that I usher in a new genre of American Fiction.
According to Mr Riddell, once 'Clay County' catches on, my titles should have a value of close to five million each. They all lend themselves to being made into motion pictures.
