Pushing My Books 📕!!!!

 There’s a lot of small things happening that have BIG consequences. I, recently, entered my script THE PACT into The Table Read My Screenplay in Cannes Competition. The winners won’t be announced until April 7th but my hopes are high. Also, I entered THE LEPIDOPTERAN script into an animation contest which won’t be announcing until later this year. Both books are available on Amazon under the name Nathan Zen-Sapien and can be found with this link ( N8's Amazon Books ).

To make this daunting, THE PACT, has won the International Impact Book Awards and because I need more funds to attend, I created a GoFundMe which can be found at this link ( N8's GoFundMe For IIBA!!! ).

The amazing thing is that this is only the beginning of the second month of the year. If you guys would like a signed book let me know the bookstore willing to have me and I'll try to arrange something soon.

Until then, thank you for all your support... Buy a book... Donate... Or spread the word!!! 

THANKS AGAIN

I Definitely Want To Go To The INTERNATIONAL IMPACT BOOK AWARDS

I changed my mind from the earlier post and now because of the potential career changing publicity I feel I need to go! So, I started a GoFundMe that covers most of the costs. Please help out if you can and I will be happy to give you a signed book and other materials associated with The PACT and the event!!! Here’s the link  https://gofund.me/65034fb72

FYI My autograph adds about $10 to everything I sign so the merchandise/books could be rather valuable someday!!! 

BLESSINGS TO YOU FOR ALL AND ANY OF YOUR SUPPORT!!!
