THE FILM VERSION NOW IN HIGH DEMAND

On Monday, March 3rd Waldorf Press will internationally release the paperback version of the already highly successful (Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, LuLu) novel, “SAVING THE KING,” about the number one best selling artist and arguably the greatest showman to ever step on a concert stage – ELVIS PRESLEY – an über talent who was worked to death by a greed-soaked manager and an insatiable public sampling their first sumptuous meal of fame and the instant satisfaction uncut celebrity can deliver.

But that is not what the novel is about.

And it’s not what all the hoopla about the novel is about.

George and Christine Gomez’ “SAVING THE KING” will take you on a journey of “what if” and allow you to imagine a world where Elvis Presley is granted a second chance at life; a life without amphetamines, sedatives, barbiturates, Demerol and dilaudid; a life without heart-demolishing junk food; a life without enslaving management; a life without the cannibalizing press corps, a life with what normal people have – hope, health, honesty, forgiveness, love and God.  

“SAVING THE KING” gives us back Elvis Presley before the Dr. Feel-Goods and the drug dealers devoured him.

Imagine that world.   If you can.   It’s an inspiring journey.

“SAVING THE KING” was first written as film script, which is being chased by several outlets as we speak.

Waldorf Press’ Barbara Terry was tipped off to the igniting energy building around the film script.  She approached the Gomez’ as to the possibility of a novel.

The answer was a resounding YES. 

“SAVING THE KING,” the novel, is an explosion set to detonate on Monday, March 3rd – in bookstores everywhere,

ABOUT
“SAVING THE KING”

“SAVING THE KING” opens in 1956 at the venerable Ryman Auditorium where a young Elvis Presley saves a defenseless ten-year-old boy from a menacing stranger after a sold-out performance, launching a chain of events that ultimately lead to a mystical encounter with an Angel who sends Elvis on a journey that redesigns his destiny.  The young boy re-enters Elvis’ life as a rich and powerful international business man who devises a brilliant but shocking plan that forces The King to confront his demons and his addictions as a small army of therapists, counselors, dieticians and trainers deliver us back – The King.  There are many enticing threads to this totally engrossing story, such as the involvement of Johnny Cash who helps orchestrate the plan while a down-and-out Memphis reporter investigates the mystery of Elvis' “death,” getting much too close to the truth and THE STORY OF THE CENTURY.  As the tale unfolds, the reader will be transported to the magical days when The King of Rock ’n’ Roll held court from an unchallenged throne and when music became the planet Earth’s intoxicating common language and its most healing commodity.  If you listened.

“SAVING THE KING” is not only a story about Elvis Presley.  It is also a story about fame, despair, greed redemption, faith, responsibility, family, friendship, loyalty, forgiveness, hope honesty, love and God.

It’s breathtaking.

It’s a page-turner.

It moves at the speed of lightning.

It’s why Hollywood is all over it.
