It's titled "Attention, Please!" and it's been my salvation in that one character in the book, Sky, is based on my daughter who wants to kill me. The book is copyrighted in 2005 when I wrote the book then because why? BECAUSE SHE WAS TRYING TO KILL ME EVEN BACK THEN!
I'm doing a lot better folks. Got some great time with the Delaware State Police, the best police force in the country I am serious. Also got a lawyer and he was very impressed by the book and he says both PFA's are bogus, which they are.
I walk into his office and I tell him that he Attorney General office came to my house (and THEY took a copy of the book....I bet they just want to read it). HE says "You like Matt Denn?
I shrug and tell him that Denn's ok (aside....our former AG was Beau Biden may I remind...who I also knew, btw....he was a really great guy) but he's a Democrat.
Lawyer jumps up and points my way to his collection of pictures and there he is with George Dubya, couple of Governors..."I'm a Republican" he kept shouting as I looked at the pics, God bless folks....me and that lawyer, our minds gelled. Nothing romantic....nothing like that.....but...well read on.
He tells me I might not like some of the pics and there he is, as I smiled, in about 15 pics with Joe Biden. I turn around and look at him with a smile cause Joe Biden, he always makes me smile I don't know why.
"Joe Biden might be a goofball to a lot of people," I smiled, "but he's OUR goofball."
"I'm so glad you said that," lawyer jumped up and down in joy.
We clicked and yes I am paying him but folks, he loved that book, he went on about how he was going to retire in a couple of years and write books.
"Did you really write that, or have a ghost?" he asked. What the hell, I ain't anybody would be hiring a ghost writer, that made me laugh. But this lawyer, I'm thinking HE might be looking for a ghost writer....insert wink here.
The book is about a woman who is a PR rep for a Republican presidential candidate. She witnesses that same candidate molesting a child.
The book then goes on to describe how she couldn't get anybody to listen to her, how she went to the molested girl's parents, who she discovered were being paid off but for a reason.
She cultivates some friends in the press and well....
I tole y'all enough. I sat and read that book last summer and it was such a great book and yeah I know it's low class to be praising your own book....but the protagonist DOES get attention and....
heh....well like I said....a great book. With a sub-plot of a daughter who keeps faking illness and harming herself (all TRUE) because SHE is addicted to attention.
Well this book is taking off and so far so many people have been reading and I'm pretty sure the AG's office stole it though they say they will return it.
That's me on the back but about twelve years ago.
Neighbor borrowed book, I made her bring it back. Son-in-law reading book, that I signed to him: "To Mike, the only other person in the world to know what it's like to live with Sky."
Granddaughter is reading a book, a book I wrote before she was even born, with her mother as a star.
All of it provable.
Of course I still have the intellectural and you can believe this book will be re-released, some day a movie even.
