A difficult question
The couple in the photo held each other in eternal embrace, locked away safely from the harms and hardships of life. The pinstriped man donned a wide smile; his thick, oily hair and chiselled features giving him the look of a 1950’s superman-by-the-seaside disguise.

Book Adaptation
The publishing company finally agree to my unique terms. The contract they sign lets me keep 100% ownership of my new book. A memoir about my extravagant captivating life as an author who never reads. We began filming my successful writing career for the first ever reality TV type motion picture. This inspirational influential biopic had no dialog to ensure an incredible movie to graphic novel adaptation. With several film stills in between chapters + empty pages. Giving the readers freedom to tell my story in their own creative literary works because deep down we all want to express ourselves.
