Stage 32 and UPL Stella(r) Update!!!

 GREAT NEWS ON BOTH ENDS!!!!

1) Stage 32 informed me that two of my projects/scripts got recommendations!!! They are now available for perusal by 3000 executives on Stage 32’s Marketplace!!! I will put links to them at the bottom of this post.

2) Josue Simao, one of the head librarians at UPL, stated that the books I submitted to the Stella system were taking some time because of the number of books that I submitted!!! They were used to maybe two at the max but I gave them a box of about 8 books so they are now being entered into the NJ library system… Whew 😅!!! I started to think the worst but everything in due time which is just STELLA(R)!!!! LOL!!! 😂

My Books And The STELLA System With The UPL

 A quick one to let you know that I have about 9 books under consideration with UPL's STELLA system. This means that all the libraries in NJ may be able (if the books are approved) to get copies of the majority of my most recent books.

Hopefully, the consortium will approve giving access to my books to all who may not be able to buy them. Personally, although grateful, I wish this were national not only for potential sales, but for the exposure to my writing. Several of the books that weren't included as of yet were THE LEPIDOPTERAN 3 & BEEP of which I will submit later when the mood hits me to do so.

Below are the links to the books on BN and Amazon.

Photos Of Authors At UPL Fair

 I got there at about 10:45 to set up because the first half of the fair started at 11am. I saw some familiar faces from last year and as the event progressed took pictures of both new and old. 

Fortunately, sold a few copies and gave some away in exchange for services which I will reveal later on in the year!!!

Overall, the nor’easter couldn’t stop all the action… I wish the authors in both halves of the fair the Best of Luck 🤞!!!

5 Prong Entertainment Attack (LOL)!!!

 As some of you assumed, I have begun working on my next children’s book using the character of Nina which should be available by the end of the year. BUT that’s just the first part of the attack!!!

I sent the first 10 pages of BEEP to an executive who premiered at TriBeCa for a review!!! It’s set up that if she likes the first 10 then she’ll go ahead and read the rest of the script.

Next, I pitched HUMAN GAME the series to an executive who works with Paramount/CBS to see if she’ll request the script and other information about the series.

Just like HG the series I am waiting to hear back from the AI company whose CEO took my book, The Lepidopteran, from me at a networking where he told me that there was a filmmaker interested.

And finally there’s The PACT!!! Last year I contacted the Obama Foundation and their library about checking out the book. Just last month one copy sold of the book which led me to reach out to other organizations about investing in the TV series. I contacted the Overlook Foundation and wrote their headquarters twice and noticed that the link that I sent of the trailer got numerous hits… This is promising!!! If they were to offer a grant to redo the series I would jump at it!!!

So, that’s this last month in a nutshell! Below I have put the links 🔗 to the books on Amazon (and which has them all) and Barnes and Noble. Don’t hesitate to check them out!!!

TAPinto Link to the Upcoming Author's Fair @ UPL

 I was shocked when I got a Google Alert with my stage name in it. Sure enough, it was pointing out that I was listed (first) in an online article by TAPinto (Union) about the Union Public Library's Authors Fair. Instead of reposting the article I'll just provide the link if anyone wants to read it.

See you Saturday September 26, 2026 for my showing at the fair from 11am to 1pm.

Cheers

MARS ICE SOCIAL NETWORKING

I went to the Mars Ice Social Networking with Spock at the behest of my new colleague, Xander. Once there we noticed that most of the people there were Russian. This didn't stop us because we're not too political and often leave politics out of general "maneuverings" BUT the one thing that caught my eye at the Times Square event (which was held in an Argentinian art gallery) was the "FREE TEQUILA BAR"!!! They were serving a new brand of tequila called EL BANDIDO and gave away a few keepsakes to remember the brand. IT WORKED! The highest alcohol bottle was the best! It had no after taste and went down smooth. I found myself coming back throughout the night to sample the different flavors but ultimately returned to the high concentrate brand. The art in the gallery was huge and playful in nature. While I didn't make as many contacts, Alexander, the host was truly welcoming and tried to connect with his guests.

Below are some pictures of the event. Spock was rather quiet this time until he met another Nathan in the crowd. LOL!!

Special Shout-out to Diana, Tania, and Daryl... I'll be contacting you, Nathan, and Alex in the future.

Cheers
