Aloha everyone,
Here I am with a load of great story ideas and a complete lack of knowledge how to get the help I need to tell them. To date, I've written book, a good number of short stories, two complete screenplays, and a humful of songs. My first screenplay attempt is a sci-fi fantasy about surfing monks from the Shallow Temple, who are a water planet protectorate come to save the Earth from the being who destroyed Mars. I entered this idea for an animated T.V. series hoping for a nibble. I'm in the middle of a screenplay adaption re-write for it. My second finished screenplay is modern day fantasy about Jesus, titled "2." He gets busted at the Mexican border sneaking into the U.S., causing more than a stir because he appears to be the same ethnicity as whoever he encounters. He can be seen on videos and cameras in the moment he is being filmed but no images are retained in those cameras. A renegade border guard will see to it that everybody wants to know WTF is He here for.
Most important, I'm really at odds writing about a great friend of mine who was murdered by a group of swindlers who almost got away with taking his wealth too. They are still alive and walking free. Lawsuits keep me from saying where the events really took place and the real names of the culprits and others who I'm sure don't want to be seen in the light I portray them. I was personally involved stopping them in court but not soon enough to keep them from taking his life. "Eating The Elderly." is happening to many seniors and their estranged family members today. I want revenge for my pal.
Oh yes, there is are horror stories I've been working on for two years, one is called "Frankenprison." Hamurabi Franken is the greatest neurosurgeon in the world and has just saved the president of the United States. He now has the president's favor and will fight off environmentalists to build his fully automated prison in Death Valley. This crime is punishable by involuntary organ donation. The Witherhoople sisters are his handmaids who have been dismembering since they can remember.
Let's don't forget "Tube Alloy and the Hiroshima Kidz." Tube is a teen rocker who lives on the Rez in Nevada and begins to transform into a lizard...dang, I need an agent.
