My four year battle with corrupt Lawyers, Judges and Bank Trust Officers involving a multi-million dollars estate in Miami, Florida. I will write a book about it!

Good Afternoon Carol,
Please forgive the delay in responding to you.
I only had about six photos of Dave and me together. On 31 July 1995, my house was heavily damaged by fire and all of my photo albums and family albums and keepsakes were destroyed. I had one, which I had sent to my mother years before, which became the cover for Volume Two. Thankfully, the Miami Fire Department saved my two German Shepherds! I had been called at my office by a neighbor and made the drive home in 20 minutes - normally a 30-40 minute drive. Dave's biological Father is mentioned in 'DAVID JANSSEN-MY FUGITIVE', Ellie Janssen's Memoir I co-authored with her. Mr. Myer contacted Dave while Dave and Ellie were in Chicago for Dave's starring role in the Stage Play, Gazeebo in 1962. Dave and Ellie took him to dinner in their hotel. According to Ellie, Dave was cold and did
not wish to further re-establishing a relationship with him. Dave only spoke with me of his biological father, and to Dave, Eugene ("Gene") Janssen WAS HIS FATHER. He was devastated when his mother divorced Gene, and never forgave her. His father did not attend his funeral services. DANI took tight control over WHO could and could not attend his services. She attempted to deny Ellie and her daughter as well as his Mother Berneice from entering the Memorial, but his Agent and Friend ABBY GRESHLER intervened and they were admitted. Sadly, his services were held on Ellie's Birthday. Ellie NEVER stopped loving Dave. However, as strong as her love for him was, we had numerous disputes in writing her Memoir, markedly because she placed all blame on the failure of their marriage, when we both know it was HER insecurities and jealousy.
At present, I am in talks with Hollywood Screenwriters and Producers for
a BIOPIC of Dave's life for Cable Television. I hope to make a formal announcement in the coming months.
Please feel free to contact me direct at my website; mphelps@MichaelPhelpsNovels.com as I am seldom on GOODREADS or facebook.
I hope you and your family enjoyed a Happy Easter.
Sincerelt,

Helo Juliet,
David was a good friend of mine, for the last fifteen years of his life. I Co-authored "DAVID JANSSEN-MY FUGITIVE" with Ellie Janssen (his first wife). Ellie placed all the blame for the failure of their marriage on Dave, which I knew not to be true. Many of his fans and a few of his close friends urged me to write about our friendship. It is my objective to provide his fans with a deeply personal insight into what a kind, sensitive and compassionate man he truly was. Thank you for your interest. Hope you enjoy a pleasant weekend.
Best,
Mike

In the genre I write, I do not get 'Writer's Block'.
For Writers who experience this, I would suggest you go back, read the last chapter you wrote, it should then take you on to the next chapter.
