Lucian is back. I’ve been healing and writing.

Hey Everyone,

My apologies for being gone so long without a note. After I returned in the beginning of June, I was suddenly sent back out. When I returned the first week of July, I needed to recuperate. I am still recovering.

First, PTV is on temporary hiatus pending my physical recovery.

Second, I have spent the last month healing and taking advantage of some very interesting opportunities that have presented themselves in Hollywood. During the last 9 weeks (while resting) I have written two novels and a screenplay adaptation from one of the novels (you didn’t think I would just lay around did you?). Anyway, the big novel is a story that I have had in my head for a couple of years now. The title of this novel is “The Ancients of Eden” and the story is an action adventure with a little science fiction and some intriguing history thrown in. And it is very timely, because it concerns the Mayan Calendar Long Count… which ends on December 21, 2012.

I have also written a humor book about becoming a husband and father called “Being Papi”…

And I wrote a screenplay adaptation of “The Ancients of Eden” called “122112 The Long Count”…

As I mentioned earlier, I am going to hire a new female host for the Planet TV Show. When I find the replacement, the shows will continue. Until then, the archive will remain posted and the feeds will stay active. But the feeds will contain new material as well.

I am gong to produce “The Ancients of Eden” as a podcast audio book. I will only read the first 25-50 percent of the text, because the point of writing the book is to sell copies of the actual book (which is what both my wife and my son hope will happen).

I hope you don’t feel that I am holding you hostage, because I’m telling you upfront that the audio book podcast is only going to be partial.

Unlike the back cover or a literature review, I am not going to just show you the best snippets of my book and hope that you will shell out the money to buy it… and hope that it is any good. I am willing to let you hear between 25 percent up to 50 percent of the story, in the hopes that you will find both my story-telling and writing worth the price of a book. And I am a writer by trade. I want to sell these types of books so I can avoid other types of writing assignments. I hope you understand.

Anyway, I’m posting the first chapter in MP3 with this entry. I will have music and other niceties later. I will also post the fact sheet that goes with the novel and the teaser for the screenplay shorty.

Thanks for staying subscribed.

Lucian
