She Desegregated New York’s Streetcars — But History Forgot Her!!!

My cousin, ESTHER DILLARD, started a series called ERASED which brings to light forgotten stories of Civil Rights achievement!!! Take a look at the first episode!!! This is Esther's first complete AI generated episode and for history buffs we can't wait for the next!!!!

So, This Is First Week of December 2025

 December started off eff'd up! For months I have been planning to move from my apartment back to the family house after Mom's passing. I had to be out by December 1st. I got out but because I had been in the apartment for close to 16 years damage had been done, and I didn't get my deposit back! Years of smoking and (spray) painting projects had taken their toll. 

To add to the mix, December 1st, I got word back from MGM executive that even though she really thought highly of HUMAN GAME The Series her team didn't think that it fit the slate for their upcoming projects. So, after revamping the series Bible and the pilot script it was a "no go"!!!

On a high note, my children's book, THE KAFUNKULITUS OF THE FUNKULUS was released!!! I wrote it back in January 2005 but had shelfed it thinking that it was not marketable and was just a fun creative exercise. Fortunately for me, my sister was going through some of my mother's old papers and came across a word-only manuscript of the book. She said it was funny and that I should draw pictures for it. I shocked her when I said that I had already drawn pictures and assembled a hard copy of the book years ago. Long story short, she told me to publish it, so I scanned and sent a copy to several publishers. Luck would have it that the publisher that I had been using for my script/books gave me a GREAT deal on turning it into an Amazon book. I took it and now it's out!!! 

For all those interested here's a link to my Amazon Author's Page (https://www.amazon.com/stores/Nathan-Zen-Sapien/author/) where you can find all 10 of my books including HUMAN GAME The Script Series and THE KAFUNKULITUS OF THE FUNKULUS.

Next year, I plan to move forward with these projects and push even harder to MANIFEST SOME LONG-TERM GOALS!!! Just wait and see!!! But for now, relax and enjoy the holidays... And if possible, buy a book or two for some holiday reading... Depending on your taste.

Send Positive Energy While I Wait!!!

 For some of you who have been keeping up with my blog you know that I have been keeping in contact with an executive from MGM (Gato Grande). About two weeks ago I gave the exec. the revised script and Series Bible. I was sick as a dog when completing it and I had to go to the library to complete some of the transfer of info because my Microsoft Word was down. Anyway, she stated that it would take a week or two to vet the revisions.

Keep your fingers crossed and send positive energy... It's week two and I am waiting

Will be doing the "WHO'S YOUR BAND" podcast tonight!!!

 So, one of two rocker-type comedian podcasters picked up several of my books at the Chiller Expo and because I gave him a couple of my cards, he contacted me and arranged to get me on his podcast, "WHO'S YOUR BAND"! It's prerecorded so they'll only include the best parts but I'm excited because he (Jeffrey Paul) said that his cohost, Sean Morton, would be discussing more that music namely the books and films that I've done (and will do!!!)!!! I'll share the links to the podcast although they are on every platform including YouTube. 

Wish me luck

Two Publishers; One Kafunk!!!

 This was an interesting week! My sister was going through some old stuff to make room for my stuff in the main house and stumbled upon a children’s book that I had written years ago before mom’s death. It was in mom’s files. I never published it because it wasn’t done for others necessarily but as therapy for myself!!! Long story short, Sis said that I should send it out to see if anyone wants it. So I did and got two responses in one week!!! 

The first was from my current publisher and the other was from a publisher who specializes in children’s books! What should I do??? I have a meeting tomorrow morning with one of the publishers and the other already offered me a deal!!!

Anyhoo, I’m going to let this week play out. For all I know I could find more success as a child author than as an adult?!?! NAH LOL 😂 pic of cover art is below ⬇️  and yes I did do the art for the book!!!

Enjoy 😊 

BEEP got larger than expected PR Coverage…EXCELLENT!!!

The BRIGHTKEY PR team said that press release was covered in more than expected news sites so I asked them to explain and this is what they said: 

Hi Nathan,

Absolutely! It’s looking like you were covered in at least 200 outlets — and possibly over 250. We’re still compiling everything on your end, but as mentioned, your full media coverage report will be sent over by the end of the day.

Also, congratulations again on securing AP News coverage — that’s a major milestone in your career and will serve as a strong asset long into the future.

Associated Press will soon get my press release thanks to BRIGHT KEY PR

 BRIGHTKEY PR is an affordable means to get a professional press release to major news outlets!!! Below are a few shots of the release that they did for my book BEEP which can be found on Amazon!

Enjoy!!!😉 

Signing Books at CHILLER EXPO In PARSIPPANY, NJ October 24-26th

 The opportunity to do a public selling and signing of my books was made available due to my colleague Brian M. Wixson aka SPOCK!!! So, from OCTOBER 24TH - 26TH I'll be selling and signing at a table at the infamous CHILLER EXPO in PARSIPPANY, NJ!!! It's Spock's table so he'll be selling and signing his horror themed books and t-shirts, so, it's a chance to meet a number #1 bestselling author whose books are also on Amazon.  

If you buy a book on Amazon and bring it, I'll sign it for FREE, but the average price of books are $10... Usually with my signature books go for $20 so this is a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to get a cheaper than normal signed copy!

SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU THERE!!!

Update on MGM Meeting and Other Previous Posts

 First off, the meeting was just to discuss what the script needed to be "perfected" so on that level it was good. Megan Espinoza wanted minor changes of which I'll complete this week. Also, we discussed the series Bible to add depth to the main protagonist's backstory and journey so that was productive. As for the Human Game series, coming Nov. 10 look for the first three scripts to be published so that if it gets picked up as a show, you'll have a heads up as to what the series will possibly evolve into or at least the direction that it is venturing towards.

Also, I reached out to INFINITE AGE (thanks to my cousin) about obtaining an affiliate link. They said that they were working on it and asked if I had a TikTok account (which I do) so the link will possibly be associated with that site... If I get one!!!

Finally, it's still up in the air as to if I'll be making a public appearance at the end of October. I really want this opportunity, BUT it's up to someone backing out so that I can get in.

The prototype cover of the H.G. book has already been revealed but I included it in this post again just in case you missed it or just like "creepy cool" stuff.

Thanks, and hopefully you'll pick up some of my other merch/books. Who knows maybe I'll see before Halloween and sign so stuff for you.
