I have just completed my first novel and hope to see it published in 2013. The title is BAD ELEPHANT FAR STREAM. It is a different kind of story in that it attempts to
convey the firsthand experience of a circus elephant, Far Stream, as
she journeys through life. The story is loosely based on the life of
a real elephant known as
Topsy who performed in the circus from the 1870s until her execution in
1903. Watch the trailer for BAD ELEPHANT FAR STREAM I also have a nonfiction book in the works that encompasses sports, the birth of the movies, and the Wild West. It's entitled THE FIGHT THAT STARTED THE MOVIES: The World Heavyweight Championship, the Birth of the Movies and the First Feature Film. | |
