Introduce Yourself : Hi by Jane Shebroe

I am new here with hopes of finding a good agent or writer who understands my story, to partner with, so I can elaborate on this true story that I told on YouTube that generated so much interest.

The true story began with my sister who fell down a flight of cement stairs at age 4, and it smashed her dreams of becoming a ballerina.  She spent many years trying to fit into a world she could no longer understand.   

Everyone ran from her and avoided her because of her brain injury making her behaviors unusual, and she tended to leave so much damage in her path.  She felt so alone and unwanted while growing up, but she didn't know how to fit in.

She learned that the only way she could make herself feel wanted was by being around men who found her sexy, so the empty feeling she had inside was cured by that attraction.  They didn't bully her, laugh at her, or run from her. This changed her path.

She was sent to Riker's Island prison at age 19, accused of a crime she didn't commit, but she didn't have the mental capacity to defend herself.

She escaped Riker's Island by hiding in a boat. While bounty hunters were looking for her in New Jersey, she was hiding in New York learning to live a tough street life independently.

She learned pole dancing and other street life hacks for survival. Being younger, I grew up learning all about the shocking truth about street life from her phone calls. She taught me so much over the phone, that I became street-smart without ever leaving home.

Living in a park, she saw a New York Post reporter paying other homeless people to witness the famous Daryl Littlejohn murder (the bouncer that raped and killed a college student at the bar across the street from the park.)

When Lorraine called me to tell me she was okay, I asked her why I heard her name on the TV news and she told me that the reporter was paying homeless people in the park to tell what they saw about the murder across the street.  She said she just wanted food money because she was hungry, so she copied what she heard other witnesses say so she could eat.

She told me that she told the reporter that she really didn't witness the murder, and just wanted to eat, but he needed a story so he ignored that part and printed it anyway in the newspaper and anchored it on TV News.

He not only reported her false witnessing, but he printed in The New York Post, her full name, age, and which park she lived in as a homeless person. Shortly after, her body was found on a New York subway train.

I didn't learn about her murder until years later, I started a vlog about her incredible life story, (prompted by a John Edward psychic live show that "seemed" to be her coming through).

I asked someone who knew her from the park if he wanted to add anything to my story about Lorraine, and he then told me that Darryl Littlejohn had someone give Lorraine bad drugs at the park to kill her and stop her from witnessing.

If I didn't go to the psychic's show, I would have never discovered on my own that she was murdered and I would have thought her death was natural.

Not that I still believe in John Edward now; I went to another live show of his that made me believe that it was just a coincidence that day; because he was wrong on every guess in the 2nd live show. 

They strictly do not allow recording at his live shows because they can't edit the bad guesses out on other people's videos.

I then started seeing John Edward as a very shrewd man who had figured out how to become a multi-millionaire by using the exact same tactics that "romance scammers" use, (preying on vulnerable people who want so badly to believe) only he found a perfectly legal way.

I could be wrong, but the only way that I could be convinced by John Edward's psychic abilities is if he could say the 3 letter nickname that Lorraine had made up and called me by instead of my real name. No living person knows it but me.

If I find a writer with interest in partnering with me, I would like to add more events to her story that I didn't mention in my YouTube storytelling.   

I inadvertently left out the fact that the fall changed her brain, but not her heart. She still had deep insight and empathy for other people.

Of course, I could write her full story myself. I'm not a bad writer as a concise storyteller, but I feel as if partnering with a professional with more flair might be a better choice since so many people told me that her true story should be a Netflix movie.
