An Autographed, first edition copy?  Really?


Yes, you CAN have an autographed, first edition copy of this book, signed by the author, when it is printed, as soon as it is printed.  Read on to see how!

Do you really want to make a difference in your community?

Here is your opportunity.

So often we see and hear about people becoming homeless and it doesn’t mean a great deal, but when you think about it, many people in this country are within 1 or 2 paydays or mortgage payments away from being homeless.  It just takes a little bad luck!

Many of the homeless got there this way and they find it very hard to get back.  They include young mothers and children or even whole families who live in cars because they can’t rent a house.  There are families who lost a job and can’t afford the rent or mortgage anymore, kids who are driven from home by violence or abuse and so many more.

All these people have skills and abilities, just like you and I.  The only difference with most of them is that we go home at night; they can’t!

Here is your chance to make a real difference.

I’ve written a great and inspirational book, about a group of homeless folks who are taking their lives back and helping many others in trouble along the way.  I’m asking you to not only help me get it published – I already have a publisher that loves it – but to take it the next step and market it to TV producers to turn it into a TV series.

It’s all about changing attitudes to homelessness, as a prelude to changing behaviors, then policies, and welcoming and supporting as many as possible of the not-by-choice homeless back into their homes or into new ones.  These people were productive members of our community; they can be again.  You can help, if you choose.  Not just here, in your town, but every town, right around the world.  Let's change attitudes everywhere!

Here’s how!

Sponsor this publication and the printing of the novel.  Any person contributing over $50 will receive an autographed First Edition copy and your name listed inside the book as a sponsor – I’m planning on a hardback copy – and there’s more for you too, that you can check out on my website. http://gettingeven.com.au/ 

On the website, you can read an excerpt from the book, look at all the episodes to see the storyline. You will discover that it really is a thrilling read. Learn how else you can get your name into the book, as well as getting an autographed, first edition copy for yourself.

What are the Goals of the funding and the book?

·       Recognising and changing attitudes to the plight of homeless people in our community, our country & globally.

·       Recognising that people who are homeless may be incredibly productive citizens but are homeless through circumstances way beyond their control and who wish to rebuild their lives.

·       Publication of a book that can begin to change the perception and circumstances of homeless people nationally and globally.

·       Development and production of a multi-season TV series that can bring the plight of homeless people to life on our screens, while showing the world they can be heroes and masters of their destiny, with just a little bit of help for Karma to help them ‘get even’ again.

·       Give hope to and inspire homeless people to fight more for themselves to change their circumstances and rebuild their lives.

·       Inspire relief agencies and governments to do more to tap this vast reservoir of life experience and human courage and bring these folks back to live happy, satisfying and productive lives again.


What about the story– Getting Even?

There is nothing like this storyline in the marketplace – either as a TV series or as a book or novel. 

·       It is an adventure story, a thriller, with incredible villains as bad as any you can see in the worst streets anywhere in the world, because they congregate in our cities to prey on the helpless.  They go where the pickings are easy!

·       It is also a romance, with a theme of love, dedication and devotion running through it that will inspire and warm the hearts of the most cynical or broken-hearted lovers.  It also has an amazing marriage ceremony, with twists that you won’t see coming.

·       It is inclusive, with every race, religion and creed included, just as you might see in any suburban homeless shelter. 

·       It exposes crime and corruption and the powerful people manipulating the system and those people who are the victims of it, for their own gain; but here, they are brought to justice.

·       It is about social justice, giving Karma a helping hand, showing how real justice can be dispensed, regardless of the rules, regulations or crooked regulators. 

·       It is about helping people regain their dignity.

·       It is a book of everyday heroes, ordinary people who, when the chips are down, do extraordinary things to help their fellow man in trouble, to help restore balance and justice where it is most needed.

·       It is an addictive storyline you won’t be able to walk away from!

·       It’s a story that will change your life and many other lives too!
