Why I was never told about this site, I don't know why. Just finished my new book and the release date is Oct 21st thru Unearthed Books. A division of my dvd company Unearthed Films.

I just joined and looking for friends of the same interest and taste which is all over the place except YA books. I'm over 40... can't get into that.

Really looking forward to see reviews for my book. Should be fun.

Thanks for finding me and send me a friend request for the fun of it.

Oh and getting ready for a free book give away so keep an eye out for that.

I'm actually very excited to see the reviews that will start coming in soon for my book. I sent out a copy to a student to use as a case study towards his Phd on cognition, perception and neurotransmission of artistic individuals....

I also have the editor of The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies with a masters in psychobiology reading it for review.



It's going to be really interesting since I have so many different people looking forward to reading Hellucination. I have theologians interested to see if it follows the word of God and the bible. I have several psychologists interested, people in the drug culture, horror fans and enthusiasts and people just curious since it is different then most books out there.

Lets see what happens.

I'm actually really excited about this. David Jay Brown, Psychobiologist and writer for the San Francisco Patch, has written several books about psychedelic studies and interviewed Ken Kessy, Timothy Leary, Terrence McKenna, Deepak Chopra, George Carlin and other lsd visionairies, that not only is he writing a review for Hellucination. He wants to write the introduction for the book on the next print run!

This is what I have been waiting for!!! An in-depth review from one of the leading minds of lsd research.

Now I need to get this into the hands of some famous theologians to get their take on it.

Oh... going over the printed version of the book. I found some typos three editors and one proofreader missed. LOL Fixing it up for the next print run.

I've been giving out copies to friends in the industry and I'm starting to get calls from them about the book.

All of my life... I have been on the outside of producing movies and such... being the guy in the background, trying to help others realize their dreams of sharing their work.

To be honest, I'm not used to being in the forefront of my own work but it's, my own work with hellucination. It's my life so it's different.

When talking to friends who know my life as well, as I know it, it is different. I knew I was putting myself out there with this and I will get used to it... it's just different.

I have no problem speaking to people about myself and my book. I have no problem, telling people what I know and teaching them the film industry they want to get into. I'm a decent public speaker and have no qualms about it.

I don't know what I am rambling about right now. I guess when I am on the phone with people I know who need to understand my book and what I went through. I know and understand why they do. I just really have to get ready for people I don't know, asking me the questions of my life.

It's one thing, for me to be standing in front of a crowd of people, asking me, as I give them answers about business in the movie biz. It's another to stand in front of them and tell them the reason for living. I got it, I can do it... just have to get used to it.

Working on the video for the book Hellucination and having a hard time with the sound. LOL

I know... I could have some of my people do it for me but the book is me and I want to keep it that way. LOL

Just switched to PC from Mac and working with new software so that's my problem. LOL

I have everything, vid clips, audio, soundtrack and text but having a hard time lining it up. LOL

Wish me luck!!!

I took the public domain of Dante's Inferno from 1936 and edited it, with me reading a slight chapter from my book overlayed on top of it with a little Beethoven behind it.

Had one person sort of freak a little on it. LOL Wife thought I would read a different section for it instead of the one I did.

I don't think I did too bad since it's new software for editing.

If you watch it, let me know what you think.

I just got a call a couple of days ago from Burbank California. I have a couple of film producers interested in making HELLUCINATION into a movie. Their talking big money and are going to start shopping it around, looking for a director. As you know, I'm in the movie business so I'm not holding my breath but it was fun to know because they hunted me down. Nice thing is, their going to be handing out my book to movers and shakers in the industry. Can't beat publicity like that.

The book is doing really well, I sold twenty copies yesterday from my website. A lot of them wanted it signed so they came to the website. I don't know what's going on but it looks like word is starting to spread out there on the interwebz.

I don't know where they all came from, could be a forum or someone with a following read it and told people about it. We will see, self publishing does have it's pitfalls and word of mouth is hard to come by but hopefully, it's starting to happen.
