Streaming Treatment "THE KING'S ANATOMIST"

3 Seasons 18 EpisodesBased on the Novel by Ron Blumenfeld  Andreas Vesalius is known as the Father of Anatomy. "Boring," you say? Perhaps even, "Hum drum?" BUT WAIT. WHAT IF... ..His grave robbing, gibbet-dangling, body snatching endeavors were the only way a young man with powerful ambition and a restless mind could explore the forbidden secrets of the human body? ..His appetite for women, for love and for life was as fervid and hot-blooded as his fanatical curiosity? THEN... ..Sharing his death-digger exploits with a Cardinal for King Phillip II, the mystical map-maker Gerardus Mercator and an unknown mathematical genius could only be topped by the mystery of how and if he really died on the far-flung Greek island of Zante.

THE COLOR OF SHADOWS

THE COLOR OF SHADOWS

READER'S VERSION & PUBLISHED VERSION "The color of shadows has to do with subtraction, scatter, and the distance that separates elements from the source of light.Outdoor designers take into account the fact that because our eyes have receptors for Red, Green, and Blue light, we are able to perceive over a million colors.Using the three primary colors, designers can create Seven Shadow Colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, blue, red, green, and black. Combine that with different textures of stone, pavers, outdoor furniture, statuary, pergolas, even water features and the possibilities propagate somewhere along toward infinity."

BOOK - MISFIRE: Why You Need To Break Your Promise

SHEDDING LIGHT ON THE HIDDEN SHAME & TRAUMA OF DEMENTIA. MISFIRE is a courageous outreach and a modern-day cautionary tale. Illustrating why among other insights, "Breaking Your Promise" is often not only the right thing, but the ethical thing to do. 47 million people are losing their minds as you read these words. In 10 years, that number sky-rockets to 75 million. The World Health Organization says, "the majority of care" is provided by family members.   Dawna Cappello was a client who became a friend. As soon as I saw her journal I knew I wanted to write a compelling and succinct narrative that might preclude the suffering of others. https://dementiaguiltguide.com https://www.amazon.com/Misfire-Need-Break-Your-Promise/dp/0692923926

BOOK - MR. B - PATH OF A PATRIOT by Susan Heller

BOOK - MR. B - PATH OF A PATRIOT by Susan Heller

THE MAN WHO WOULD NOT BE KING “Politics is a dance. Most of the time it’s pugilistic in nature. People in politics like that. They love the combative, deal-making, ducking in low for a quick shot then dancing away with glee kind of interaction.”                                                                                                            I wrote this book before the world went completely catywumpus. Fred Biebel would be apoplectic and utterly appalled by what we have wrought. During Fred’s career he worked for five Republican presidents: Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Ford, and George Bush Sr.  If you want to read about a guy who got the "political" thing right, with dignity, honor, and some scarifying situations (Look out Mr. President!) the full book is available online. I do not receive any monies from sales, but you just might meet a man who inspires you. PHOTOS FROM THE BOOK, FOREWARD, CHAPTER ONE & EPILOGUE BELOW:

ARTICLE -- BUILDERS & ARCHITECTS ROUNDTABLE -- WHAT SHAPE, STYLE, OR SIZE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

So just how do you determine what shape, style or size home is the right one for you?      There are inventions in the works that will take us from the magic of alchemy to the tantalizing technology of an actual Star Trek-style holodeck; Project Hololens, Oculus Rift and the still shrouded in mystery, Magic Leap backed by Google, among them. However, until you can walk and interact in a virtual reality version of your potential home, the best advice is to make an appointment with one of the talented visionaries of our Roundtable, and have a conversation.

ARTICLE -- OAK & ALMOND

The Style of California Meets the Iconic Excellence of New York      Showcase strong proponents of the philosophy behind the Farm-to-Table movement which has everything to do with supporting small-farm economies, food freshness and seasonality, as well as a strong interest in safeguarding the unique taste of heirloom grains and vegetables.       Toward that end, they grow their own herbs in season and have a lengthy list of organic and biodynamic farms and purveyors with whom they work. They also utilize local and small production breweries and wineries.

BOOK -- VOLCANO

HOLY WOW BATMAN! IT’S A POTBOILER! As in, take the "Disaster Genre" and add in the "Occult". Oooh! WAIT! It's years later and in real life, the Volcano is blowing its top! Okay, its side. Yippee! And the rights to the novel are available! WHEE!   Oh for heavens’ sake! Dell Publishing replaced my design for the cover* with a comic-book visual of a military scene. The British and Italian editions were even worse. Gah.  Never mind. The movie rights are still available! * A simple, compelling visual. Grey clouds billowing upward. Within the smoke, the eyes of a Hawaiian goddess staring accusingly at the reader. The title, “Volcano” in tall red letters. Author’s names to be on the binding of the book.        READ CHAPTER ONE - 6 Pages
