Below are aome random liner notes, so you know where I am coming from: 

1. All works, whether fiction or non-fiction, books or scripts, are copyrighted with the US government as they are 100% my original work. That means, they belong to me until I say otherwise (which will be never). You know, as well as I do, that a copyright is only as good as your ability to defend it. I have money and my attorney is a not-nice person if you’re wondering.

2. Agents,  literary or otherwise, feel free to hit me up. I am looking for representation for Tall Poppy Syndrome to sell to a major publisher. I have sent 30-some-odd pitches, perhaps you're a recipient. Either way, always eager to chat.

3. FQ was conceived not as a book, but a course to teach financial literacy. Unfortunately, I published it on Amazon where it sold only a handful of copies. Selling it as a $20 book was never my intent; it was but a lead magnet for a $5k course. Almost immediately, I recognized my error but it was too late. Once published with an ISBN, it cannot be unpublished. Nonetheless, I stand behind the work as excellent and have been giving it away for the last several years.

4. If you work in Hollywood and are concerned you might get sued if you read my work and produce a work of your own that could even tangentially be considered infringing, I suggest you use a phony email when contacting me to read the full work. Something like mystupidfingfakeemail@gmail.com will suffice. Which, of course, I’ve already claimed so you have to make up something else. Better yet, try 10Minutemail.com. Anyway, I’m confident my work is original enough that it won’t be an issue.

5. If you wish to purchase a script, contact me. The price I quote is DEADLY SERIOUS; I don’t mess around when it comes to money. Pay the ask and you can drive it home. For the uninitiated, screenplays sell for LOTS of money. For one recent turd-blossom of a movie (which shall remain nameless), the script sold for $3 million bucks! Of course, I’m a nobody and until I become a somebody, I will be treated as such. But a fool I ain’t and truth is, the script has NO EARTHLY IDEA who wrote it. To wit, when JK Rowling penned a novel under the name Robert Galbraith, it was NOT an instant hit. Only when her non de plume was revealed did it fly off shelves. So there’s that.

6.  I am open to an option, which gives someone the rights to the script but only for a fixed period of time, like a year. If the buyer can’t get the financing or a star attached (or whatever) together in that timeframe, they can re-up or let it expire. Many folks in the Screenwriting Industrial Complex (SIC for short) suggest optioning your work for, say, $1, just to get it out there. I have spoken to more than one person who swears this works. I’m skeptical. The businessman in me doesn’t buy it albeit I WILL consider an option for significant US dollars. Just how significant is the question.

7. If you like my writing (or even if you don’t) and want to work with me on YOUR project, hit me up. Happy to have a chat, no promises. I am busy with all sort of other stuff so please don’t waste my (or your) time if you’re just fishing.

9. For the record, not one word of my work was written by AI or was ever fed INTO an AI. It's not my job to make robots smarter of more creative. As of this date, the AI-generated prose I have read is dreck.

10. If you wish to send me notes or just want to say hello, feel free. In my experience, they fall into three buckets - (1) yeah, I should have seen that, (2) Hmmm, we’ll need to chat, and (3) dude, you be smoking crack. When I first started writing some 20 years ago, all three held similar volume. Since then, the first has shrunk to the size of a Dixie cup, the second grown to a swimming pool. Oddly, the third remains unchanged. But I promise I will read them and maybe even comment myself unless they are nasty or spammy in which case I will delete them.
