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.

DR. KRACKER, NATURE'S PATH, LINDA EDER AND ELVIS PRESLEY

It has been awhile since I've blogged. I got a new computer which has Windows 7 on it. Okay, you're probably saying, "Oy, what went wrong with yours or what doesn't work with Windows 7". What doesn't work with Windows 7 is the program for my digital camera which was purchase a few years ago. I called Fujifilm and they tell me that there is no updated version. This computer has this Fish thing. Yes, I can upload the photos but then I have to go to some other thing so I can resize or whatever to send them out or get on my blog, etc. I have a netbook that has the Window thing before Vista so the program will work, but then I have to correct the photos, put it on a memory stick and then put them on my PC. Good grief!!! I decided to blog and will later add photos and video.

Dr. Kracker Crisps. Dr. Kracker is a great flatbread treat. Very healthy with seeds and made with other than wheat. Different types with different seeds. Haven't tried them in soup as yet but best part is that I can make scrambled eggs without any salt or seasoning and the flatbread serves that purpose. They also have Crisps...small flatbreads with things like apple, cherries, hummus, and a spicy one. Great idea!

Have you ever had the pleasure if eating Nature's Path cereals? I'm hooked on them. To begin with, it's all organic. I know that just because the cereal is organic doesn't mean that they taste good but these rock! I'm not one for dry cereal in the morning. The assortment is enormous! Lots of them are gluten free. Aside from cereals they have cereal bars, so to speak. Either rice or granola. Great for a snack. Many of the bars and cereals even have fruit. I find that when I want something to nosh, I go for a small bowl with milk. I love milk and am willing to go for the 2 percent. Lots of fiber....really...no shit! Not a cheap cereal but worth the price for what you get.

I saw Linda Eder in concert at Colden Auditorium on the campus of Queens College in Flushing, New York. She certainly gives a great concert. I think she was supposed to have an opening act, but he canceled and it was all her. Eder came out with a new CD entitled, "Now", featuring the music of her former husband Frank Wildhorn. They got together to create the CD.

Elvis Presley. Or rather Gregg Peters. I was about to enter the doors of a neighborhood diner and saw a flier about Gregg Peters making an appearance. Gee. I remember Gregg Peters from at least 20 years ago when, as a comedian, I opened two shows for him. "He's still doing Elvis Presley?", I said to a friend. She looked at the flier and said, "Yes, as a matter of fact, he's here tonight". I walked over to him and he was so surprised to see me. My first impression was, "Gee, he got so old". Then the second thought was, "Gee, I got so old".

Not only was he doing his Elvis thing but now he has his two sons involved, one of which is doing a young Elvis. A show in a diner...oh well.
