Norma Jean's Sun, Memoir ( Based on a True Story )

"A Wonderful commentary on the very things that make us all human" "Brave honesty of confession, makes the book unique" "Touching story, full of hope" The story is not only convincingly true, but will rivet the reader with its genuine and unassuming pathos. It is this kind of brave honesty of confession and growing philosophy that makes the book unique.

Miraculous tale of how a boy, born into unimaginable physical and emotional pain and destined to be a misfit, finds his way in a world of "others." Few could survive so many torturous years of surgical intervention and a ensuing lifelong struggle with drugs and alcohol addiction and come out ahead. This moving tale reveals not only the struggle and heartrending elements of generational lives "gone wrong," but also the love and growth of a human being overcoming the odds and determined to find a way to live life to the fullest. Based on a true story, the author's unapologetic prose prompts enduring ethical questions and makes a gripping, personal read. Norma Jean's Sun is painfully reflective yet ultimately hopeful, a story told through the eyes of a boy who believes he has been mistakenly born into the world and a man who conquers physical and emotional injustice--and thrives. The reader will be challenged to answer the difficult questions of right and wrong as they may apply to his or her own life. It is clear that it is the hope of this author that the reader's conclusions will lead to a more fulfilled view of the "parallel beauty that lives just beneath the surface for us all."

Norma Day (True Story - Inspirational Family Drama)

Generational History results in double indemnity when Norma gives birth to a child with profound disabilitating birth defects and will follow a forbidden love on an incredible journey at the risk of losing her Only Son!

KICKSTARTER - Narrative Film Funding Project

Norma Jean's Sun, Memoir

KICKSTARTER - Narrative Film Campaign

It has been a journey to make this book into a reality. Up till now, all efforts have been solely funded through personal expenditures and self publishing services. Now living in Santa Fe New Mexico, it is our goal to use this environment of talent, location and resources to produce a quality, engaging and emotionally moving story at world class award level to include Sundance, Santa Fe Film Festival and more. Currently talking with and contacted by entities interested, it is our intent to use these funds for screen writing services, licensing, Management and Production Supervision plus Camera and Studio staffing. Working with New Mexico Film and many key individuals, the template is ready for funding.

This vital step can ONLY happen with your benevolent support.

Initial steps and talks are geared towards employing and partnering with a Film Production Company such as First Serve Film, Revelations and Independent

Target Cast:

• Morgan Freeman, Narrator
• Jack Nicholson
• Jennifer Aniston
• Gene Hackman
• Ali McGraw
• Sam Elliot
• Robert DeNiro
• Jon Voight
• Ving Rhames
• Catherine O'Hara
• Fred Armisen
• Catherine Keener
• Jeffery Combs
• Joan Cusack

Target Cameo Appearance & Sound Tracks: Elton John, Hootie, Amos Lee, John Bercaw, Garcia & Scott, James Taylor, Lisa Biales, Coltrane and a host of Midwest Blues Musicians. Appearance Cameo Target: Erin Brockovich, Julia Roberts, Cybill Shepard & of course - Colonel Sanders I'll explain later...

What If I Have No Idea How Kickstarter Works?

If you're not familiar with Kickstarter or how it will work, here's a brief overview.
For the next 30 days, you'll be able to make pledges to help support this project, ranging from $5 to whatever you can afford. For your pledge, you can select one of the reward packages—listed to the right—of equal or lesser value to your pledge. You can always pledge more than the minimum to get a specific reward if you want. Your credit card, Paypal or other account will not actually be charged at the time you make your pledge, and you can change your mind right up to the final deadline.

If the final deadline comes and we've reached our goal, then everyone gets charged the amount they pledged. But if for some reason we don't meet our goal, then the whole thing is called off. No one gets charged, no fees are applied, everyone just keeps their money. So there's no risk of putting up money and then the project never getting off the ground. Of course, if we fail to meet the goal, then no one gets any rewards, either.

Thank you, Kris
