Author Topic: NGC, your best titles of unwritten books (Read 4865 times)

Forgive me; I work in libraries. Tonight while prep'ing dinner I thought of a title that might grab attention in marketing cents.
Writing about the subject is irrelevant because I am far too lazy to actually research the topic.
I liked the title; Killer fruit or beloved vegetable: a history of the tomato.
A zillion people have warned me off nightshade vegetables because of a chronic disease.
A whole nation has an amazing cuisine based on them.
Most people know academically that tomatoes are considered a fruit but I can't recall a fruit salad that contained one.

Anyone else out there with never to be written books in the wings (ornithologists aside)?

"I Shot Elvis".
A book I've already started all about the local TV news business and my exploits in it.. mostly just remembrances fo my kids tho.. I flew close to mach 2 crossing the Atlantic in the Concorde and got in the flight deck to film, I got to pilot the Goodyear Blimp once, a helicopter crash/emergency landing on a freeway.. stuff like that.

Oh, I did shoot Elvis on film in 1977 shortly before he died.

I’m reminded of that un written work of the great philosopher and philanderer George Best.

And completely squandered the rest..!”

For the golfers here...several titles in the future series to be published, won't be as exciting as the Jack Reacher novels, but might be as entertaining!

Don Quixguzzi

A hopelessly romantic old Guzzista watches too many You Tube videos on top ten bars in Phuket which makes his brain curdle into thinking that there must be an in·con·tro·vert·i·ble truth left somewhere in this world.
With theatrical fervor over many beers in the bike garage late at night, he paints a picture of his quest that inspires neighbor Nacho Honda.
Don Quixguzzi loads up his old Eldorado named Rockin' Annie and sets forth with Nacho on a 72 CB350 for Roswell 2000 miles distant on tertiary roads where the girlfriend of his youth is living out in the dessert.
Many mishaps and adventures await...
