We are now underway with our book: “Homeless in the Land of Liberty”. This project offers a DVD, CD, gallery show, and now a book. I want to thank our producer Ryan Hardy for his direction that the book is taking and Karin Romani of Author House for her constant help and advice. I do not consider myself an author. I am a scriptwriter and writing a book is a whole new ball game. I am taking the advice of Ryan and just telling the story of the homeless as I have seen it over the last two years.
It’s not a pretty picture, but it needs to be told. I believe that when people see this film, hear the music, or read the book, it will change the way they feel about the homeless. I feel driven to tell this story in every way possible.
It’s a big added expense for a project that is under-funded but we have decided to move on with it hoping that the money will come together somehow. I believe that as America sees those without a home as the people they are and not just some statistic, it will change their views.
Just be prepared as you read the book, see the film, or listen to the music. It’s a tragic story and will leave you with a different point of view. Everything will be available September 15, 2010. Keep checking back at this blog for updates, or sign up and we will notify you when we post new content.
