I'm Tom.
When a screenplay getting good reviews from professional producers wasn't bringing in any offers, I decided to turn it into a novel to build a fanbase. That novel is now going through a line edit. By next month I should have the cover created, and by the month after that, I hope to have the book available through Amazon.
My thanks to the fans this story has created here on Stage 32. I have high hopes as a Thelma & Louise homage comp that has been available for eight months (Hadley and Grace) has over 18,000 reviews (86% of them four stars and above) and is still making over $2,500 a month in sales on Amazon alone, according to Publisher Rocket.
A link to a screenplay pitch reel and the first draft of the book description is below.
Feel free to comment. The reel gives everything away, so I won't be using it as a book trailer. I am interested in knowing if the book description is enough. It's less than 100 words, so I can add a mini-synopsis without giving away the ending if need be:
"A Bible-belt town, a pious lover of all things Thelma & Louise in need of quick cash, a retired male stripper, and a defiant lesbian combine to create this deliciously dark comedic debut novel.
Sometimes uplifting, sometimes erotic, always funny, all with no cliffs in sight.
Doing Business As tells the story of one woman raised to believe that all things sex are a sin and the lengths she will go to avoid being identified as the owner of her small town's first male strip club."
