I have written my first crime novel

Ladies and gentleman I have written my first crime novel about a retired NCIS agent who is black who gets appointed sheriff of a small mid-western county built on racism. I will be pitching this on twitter in a couple of days. Please send me pleasant thoughts. My goal is to get not only a book deal but a film or TV deal out of it so I can buy myself a house with a working furnace. Send me your thoughts and prayers and if you happen to have connections in the business I could use that too.

Their brains work in maximum overdrive with a turbo charger. You have to mentally multitask to keep track of all the things going on in your writing.

BEST WISHES!

If you ever need to ask a technical question of a private eye, federal law enforcement type, or related things, just hit me up. My friend is a screenwriter and he and others have asked me things and I'm glad to answer or point in the right direction.
