Maybe there is another John Milieus around. I think “Foreign Enemies” would probably lend itself more to a movie.
I took the small cards of the first book and scanned them, then printed them at 8”X10” after resizing them in photoshop.
I used glossy paper and they looked professional so I took them to several local gun shops and explained the story and how pro gun the book was. They all said they would place them where they could be seen.
After a month or two, I visited all of them and couldn’t find any of them displayed. It sort of made me mad as it appeared that anything which didn’t help them sell guns was not going to be displayed.
The fact that I had been broke and had not bought any guns from them recently may have influenced them. Then again, maybe some customer wanted them and took it home with them.
Anyway I was hoping to get some sales for you but probably didn’t do much good.
I think all of my novels have terrific, original scenes that would work super well in film. But I’m not holding out any hope at all. Even finished screenplays only have about a 1/1,000 chance of ever being made into movies.
Thanks for the efforts with the gunshops. I do sell some cases to some shops, but only when they solicit wholesale orders from me. I gave up on trying to pitch my books to them. 99% of the time I just got blank stares or no response. No matter what the subject matter is, or how pro-RKBA a book might be, most folks today just are not readers, period. Sad, but a sign of the times.
I think my new book would be the easiest and maybe the best to make into a movie. Pipe dreams, anyway.
