My Novel "Final Expense Man" is Free Until Jan 13

[Life Hawk]

blue-haired "Mildreds,"

you been messing around with my clients?

...for that I want part of the royalties.

 

[PA Bill]

Just be prepared when the Hollywood suits come calling. Their liable to want to make a comedy out of it. But I guess you could care less so long as you get paid!

I smell a movie deal in the near future. I want to be considered for the role of Mildred's husband Herb. Or Herb's stunt double.

Grow your mullet and you could play the part of Mildred.

Mildred's chubby?

Double Indemnity is one of my favorites and an inspiration for the book. One thing that always bothered me in the movie was that the two meet and 10 minutes later they're plotting murder. I thought maybe that was just the move but I read the book it's based on and it's just as sudden in the book as well - seems very implausible to me.

Final Expense Man is Double Indemnity with:

• a more plausible ramp up in the love story
• story taken down market from upper class Los Angeles to trailer parks and tenements
• about a half-dozen sales scenes based on real life FE

About the $100K - yes, there are a few places where I stretched and simplified to keep the story readable by the general public, but in general it's insurance industry accurate. Religious revival sales concalls...Sons of Iceland...threading the underwriting needle to get a sale...famous president TV ads...it'll be familiar to anyone in FE.

Enjoy!

Sounds like a good, salacious read on a lazy weekend day! Looking forward to it.

I thought the first chapter was cool.

Mildred's chubby?

Big boned!

Fluffy

Fluffy

I prefer big boned.

Fluffy is soft. Bones are hard. Sooo, that means I am hard. Hard is better than soft.
