Well,the contract has been signed.I've been with this company
since 2007 and they have been fantastic.My sixth book of fourteen
short science fiction stories like The Twilight Zone was something I
was experimenting with. I have been getting good reviews on them.I
went with another company for that book. While I was out promoting
Strange Tales Of The Unknown I had finished with my seventh science
fiction novel called Out There. I was turned down by so many publishers
because they were only interested in the authors they already have or
they were not interested in my type of story.
I decided to go into film.Since I've been writing screenplays I asked
myself, "Why am I sitting around waiting to be discovered in the film
industry?" That's when I decided to produce and direct my own film.
I have friends signing up.I have equipment arriving by UPS and Federal
Express. I'm on the internet getting ideas from the professionals.
Production will start in the spring.
Now while i'm getting all of that ready I get an email saying my
manuscript ( Out There )will be considered for a contract to be published.
That's how God works. I sent my autobiography in,my photo for the book
cover and my synopsis for the back of the book. This is the first book
that I have written that has almost 600 pages of pure sci/fi entertainment
for your enjoyment.I'll keep you all posted on my blog.Thank you and
have a happy holliday.
Sincerely
Kevin Doy Burton

Book Deal has been signed electronically
Well,the contract has been signed and sent in electronically. Now I
better find a photographer for my book cover.As for my film,equipment
has been ordered,like a film clapper,green screen,lights,light stands,chairs,ect.
The magic of film making is very interesting,especially the CGI effects,and my
actors are still signing on.I have their scripts in my suitcase. The adrenaline is
speeding up my heart contractions.What a rush.
With everything else God is blessing me with, all I need next is an invester.
Some people say to me, "You're going to have to spend lots of money to
tackle the project of making a movie." I say," Really,i'm just going to have some
fun doing it.Who knows what will happen along the way,but i'm not going to let
the fear of money stop me." You see? Fear is a negative force.Happiness is the
positive force that let the goodness into your life.Anyway,that's all I have to say
now. But one more thing. To the people in other countries who are reading my
blog,thank you. I've been tracking my blog and i'm getting quite an audience.I
appreciate it very much and please,spread the word.Happy Hollidays to you
all.
