Suggested topics
· The Grappler Chronicles – I’ve written two books, and one tie-in, in this wrestling / science fiction series set in a fictionalized Florida territory in the 1970s.
o Book one, Gorpp the Grappler, tells the story of an alien invader who mistakes the world championship of wrestling for the world championship of Earth and what happens when he sets out to win the title.
o Book two, Son of Blackbird, tells the story of what happens when they take the Florida wrestling promotion to Gorpp’s home world, a moon orbiting Saturn and bring territories-style wrestling to an alien culture.
o The third book, Ambush at the Palace, is a standalone crime novel set in the same territory in 1979 with some of the same characters. This one tells the story of a North Florida organized crime boss trying to take over the territory by targeting their bagman (and the promoter’s money).
· The Territories – The first volume in Chad Dundas’ shared world wrestling fiction anthology came out last year. I have stories slated to appear in the next two volumes.
o “Last Days of the Next Big Thing” is the story of a broken down never-was has-been wrestler who is now wrestling with his own mortality as he receives visits from his old tag team partner and his ex-wife in a rundown Florida motel room.
o The other one, “The Hangman Leaves ‘em Hangin’” is about a desperate promoter who gets an idea to promote a match with a big name wrestler – “The Hangman” – (who he hasn’t really booked) to make the big payday he needs to stay in business…and what happens when “The Hangman” actually shows up.
· Tallahassee Sports Stadium – I have an article coming out in the Tallahassee Historical Society magazine, Apalachee, about our wrestling venue in Tallahassee (1970-79) and the storied history of this old warehouse, now forgotten by many, that hosted the greats from Dusty Rhodes to Andre the Giant...not to mention The Doors and Allman Brothers. The article will feature never before published photos taken by my mother (a professional photographer) from a card in the late ‘70s (Jack a Brisco vs. Don Muraco). Happy to share a draft if you’re interested in reading before having me on.
