WHY ARE YOU A BOOK GHOST?

Ghost Writer, Inc. on Living and Dead Jews…PEOPLE. Maybe they’re where we want to be. No, I have a family to serve and protect. With my hard-earned money. Which I make by being a ghostwriter. Lately, only of sorts. I am now semi-retired and do certain select projects. Mostly editing and shorter works. Things that get my attention fast and really capture my unlimited fancies.

The rest, I send to other ghostwriters. In a way that is so all along. I’m careful about what I pick to do. Everything else, advisement capacities. I know exactly what I’m talking about…somewhat. I’m a human woman and make mistakes. Honestly, I can’t do absolutely everything. Or some things completely right. But we all certainly can try. It’s what makes us the Noblest Animal, I guess. Suffering while doing things wrong. Or trying hard to understand why people won’t let you do things. When they want to do them instead of you.

My currently SEO-friendly title tag. I’ve hired Indians to do my SEO work in the past. But nowadays, Filipinos instead. Indian is something I might partially be. The Cherokee Nation Trail of Tears kind. White looking, not enough. Seems “foreigners” are both trustworthy and otherwise. Same as everyone else. Same as Stan Lee. He’s been accused of sexual misconduct. Probably something real. Too much of that everywhere and gone.

He also invented Spiderman…and Mary Jane. I reinvented Batman, not Wonder Woman. But due to World War II and then Vietnam, I called myself a name: Wonder B—h. Due to wondering what was going down. It can all be viewed as only sexism. Anti-men and anti-women. War does that to the human mind. And bends mentality in either positive or otherwise negative directions. Well, at least I “invented” my daughter, I guess.

MY BLOG SAYS WHY ARE YOU A BOOK GHOST NEEDS SUBHEADINGS.

She’s so far away now, she’s a dream. Due to male violence, and female persistence. Sometimes I doubt I even had her. She’s in her mid-20s. I am praying someday she forgives her family, and opens the lines of communication again. I have one major book in The Library of Congress, and dozens of others too. Well over 500 now I’m responsible for and counting. I either contributed, worked on or arranged all those works.

That book I mentioned was about how the FBI found the killer in two months. By being thorough and checking records. I was the “editor” for an FBI agent's daughter. His team caught James Earl Ray. It took checking passports at Heathrow Airport in London back in 1968. Found Ray. Well, I didn’t. So although I tried to hunt down Jerry Ray (JER’s brother), I wasn’t able to. Wanted to interview the other possible killer.

If you ever see a man carrying a rifle, consider doing something. Unless he is hunting deer, bear or quail…in the bushes. Somehow, I'm not making fun of Dr. King. I respect and admire him, except for his attitudes about women. Not rare.

WHAT IF SEXISM IS MOSTLY AGAINST WOMEN? THEN, IT’S PRETTY HARD TO CHANGE THINGS. VULNERABILITY IS ALL IMPORTANT.

AND I THINK EVERYBODY IS RESPONSIBLE. NOT JUST DONALD TRUMP.

I wonder what Stan Lee really did? Not be squeaky clean, I guess. Racial impurity? Sex and strut your stuff. Too much. Date young girls, and think they exist for only that reason. Just like Jerry Lewis and me. He handed me a match stick cover at a party with his room number scrawled up top. Didn’t keep it; threw it away. Wanted to do more in life than lose my virginity funny. Figured he’d hand me money for it. Or be waiting for me in his room with someone else. Possibly, or be eating a banana while smiling gamely and watching television.

Lucille Ball was somehow inspiring to me. For all I know, she kept me away from that hotel room. I wouldn’t put it past her; she’s rather somebody. She is the person most behind the invention of Star Trek. Well, at least the promotion of it through her studio. No Lucille Ball, no Star Trek. She financed it, with or in spite of Desi Arnaz. Our Lucille had faith in the series for some reason. Desilu was the production company. Most people don’t know that, and mainly Ball is responsible for the entire Star Trek and Star Wars franchises.

THE REASON WHY ARE YOU A BOOK GHOST MAY WELL BE LUCILLE BALL. SHE’S DEAD NOW TOO.

Read the background book about Star Trek recently. Great jokes about balling, everyone having fantastic fun. Star Trek was infamous for everybody on it having sex with everybody else. Good for them; but what about me? Lucy was probably a Jewess. Braver than a lion and modest, too. I feel obligated to try, doubt I am either. She doubted herself frequently. I have to make money to support my entire family. While I’m disabled. NO, physically challenged. Something to call it. I am doing this; tell me if you see any typos.

THREE PARAGRAPHS THEN THE HEADING SEEMS TO WORK. FOR SEO PURPOSES.

Well, Stan Lee inspired me to come up with this business. Him and Philip Roth’s “The Ghost Writer”. I thought since I might not work anywhere else great, I’d set myself up online. Didn’t want to just be Roth’s “Monkey Girl” from Portnoy’s Complaint. If I use that word, I will be screened out by Google. Words that hurt and bullies and love. What do you have to write about today? There are jobs in the writing field abounding.

Due to the Internet. Like my Mom said, I was able to do so. The World Wide Web is something special; so was my mother, dead at 86. Mom and Dad are gone, so are 11 people. Jewish women and men. Now we have bodies in Pittsburgh, or even Philadelphia. It wasn't a wonderful day in Mr. Roger’s old neighborhood. Yes, it was the Squirrel district, and it certainly attracted one.

Or trying to mimic Lucille Ball. Is squirrel for the killer a tasteless joke? Sadness.

Why are you a Book Ghost?

GHOSTWRITING BLOG – POINTS TO CONSIDER VISA LIFE OF WRITING PROSE AND POETRY

HOW DID YOU START UP YOUR BUSINESS?

Ghost Writer, Inc. started as an idea by a 14-year-old girl. In the basement of our family house, in 1974. I was reading Marvel Comics about Stan Lee’s Bullpen when it dawned on me – I didn’t like comic books, I liked real books! They were more adult and made much better intellectual sense.

On the spot, I dreamed up Rainbow Writing, Inc. I decided to send ghostwriting work out to a bullpen like Stan Lee’s. But mine would be a cattle pen of ghosts. Men and women, no children. Black and white, brown, different countries. Seattle, Chicago, New York City. Los Angeles, London, Bangladesh. Much later January 2003, RWI online and I began sending work out. Rebranded the company as Ghost Writer, Inc. in 2011. Getting more business than I could handle. I’m expecting the floodgates to open. They already have, but not yet.

IF YOU KNOW WHY ARE YOU A BOOK GHOST…WHAT DID IT MEAN?

Over the years, GWI expanded. To provide all types of ghostwriting services. We do books, film screenplays, TV scripts, plays, research, music, lyrics, Hollywood soundtracks, speeches, business documents…anything you name, we can staff it. Our motto is, “We do it All!” From short stories, poetry, work and academic statements, children’s through adult literature, all types and every genre.

We specialize in memoirs and science fiction, plus business nonfiction books. As to awards, we’ve won dozens of them for our writing and editing skills. Including the Literary Arts Association award for books, inclusion in The Library of Congress (not remunerated, voluntarily inclusion), several Writing.com and Poetry.com awards. Academy awards, Emmys, Golden Globes, Tellies and several other awards for films made from our ghost’s screenplays.

WHAT SETS YOUR BUSINESS APART?

My business is a one-woman effort by a differently abled freelance writer. I have health issues. Am overcoming them. Lots of fear, lots of pain and pleasure. Through the years, I ghost wrote 50+ books, some of which became NYT and Amazon best sellers. However, largely I have fulfilled my dream of sending work out to other writers. I have people on my team with dozens of bestselling books, under their names and those of their clients.

I have given many people their start as a professional writer. We have bestsellers nowadays who started out as students. I gave them a chance through GWI. And now a decent lot of them are golden!

WHY ARE YOU A BOOK GHOST, REALLY?

Ghost Writer, Inc. will consider any project, if it’s ethical. But we will edit, rewrite and proofread works when it’s unethical to ghostwrite. We take payment upfront, except for celebrities and stories of timely events. We will consider a split and half a book advance, but generally we work solely for upfront pay. However, we always consider our clients’ budgets, and we will work only within them.

GWI advertises affordable ghostwriting services. We strive mightily to get first-time writers published. We don’t turn anyone away. Instead, we give out professional advice. We plan out payments over time for low-income clients. If budget is a problem, we suggest editing or book coaching instead of ghostwriting. We’ve helped many achieve success who couldn’t afford a ghostwriter. People with inspirational stories of abuse, and how they overcame it. And we plan to continue these business practices well into the future.

In the last decade, things have changed dramatically in the writing and publishing business, and will never be the same again. Anybody, perhaps almost everybody nowadays with any kind of computer seems to be having a go at it! Nowadays then, to some agents and acquisition editors, it must seem that there are far more writers around today than there are readers. Why do they do it? The irresistible lure of possibly doing another Harry Potter?


Perhaps things have become an amateur's dream of a preferable alternative to a normal occupation? Maybe they’re making it an exercise in self-fulfilment too, a way to express and analyze their feelings about the world. Where they fear it's going, and the urge to communicate about it to anyone who’ll listen.


Well, there are easier ways to relieve one's feelings of frustration when it comes to requiring therapy. You could try beating up your partner… but that can be very expensive, especially in America. In some countries I believe you can buy little clay idols, horribly hideous to behold. With just a little imagination a suitable one of them can be identified with the galling irritation of the moment. Rage and indignation does the rest. Trials and tribulations presumably scatter in the breeze with the dust of the thing as it crumbles in your fist, or shatters under your heel.

I've no doubt it works for some people, but if you lead a very frustrating life, it might soon get to be expensive. However, there are more economic ways to relieve one's feelings when the need for therapy arises. Years ago, to become your own psychiatrist, the minimum you needed was pencil and paper.

Nowadays, a personal laptop, or tablet... or even a smart phone is more convenient, and most of us have one nowadays…or something similar. Everywhere can become a couch and it's more socially acceptable than talking to yourself… or taking it out on your partner, which, as I already mentioned, can be very expensive.

So, put it all down then...scribble or tap away, unbutton your creative belt and let everything hang out. Develop your expressive urges and have your characters tell your conscience how you feel. Above all be honest with yourself, even if it hurts. It often does, and I should know…this is the voice of experience.

The nearer I got to the top of the heap, in my business profession the more I longed to release my over-pressurized feelings, throw away my collection of emotion-screening masks, insult all the customers, turn my order book in for an axe and hack away at the plastic feet of all the false idols I seemed to be worshiping. I felt disillusion and contempt for the commercial rat-race, and the way it submerged my appreciation of the simpler things in life. I resented the never-ending battle, that constantly seemed necessary, to just stay level, let alone to expand further, and I was filled with remorse at the neglect of my home-life and family. All the time you see my conscience was wearing me down. It refused to believe my contrived excuses and justification for what I was doing. I eventually knew I needed some kind of therapy, so I started writing again.

I should mention that back in the fifties I wrote and sold a few SciFi tales, as an avid Science Fiction fan and participated in several conventions. My rapidly expanding business life however, soon put a stop to those fascinating activities. Eventually in the late seventies I decided it was time to retire from my professional executive life, and went to work for myself as a software consultant. The problem with that was the way it soon took up all of my time again, so in my early eighties I gave it all up and finally retired.

Since then I have only indulged in writing, editing and promoting my speculative fiction output. Now of course, I am ruefully finding the latter, the essential marketing requirement, seems to take up more and more of my time than the writing does. But to continue…

The smaller magazines and genre websites began to take my work, and still do, and I've also won a few competitions, and received a couple of awards. Altogether I’ve published over ten collections of speculative stories from macabre tales to science fiction and even some humor. I've also had stories published in about nine anthologies in America. My first novel, Points of View, was published in 2012 by Eternal Press in California. In 2015 they were taken over by Caliburn Press in Madison. Wisconsin. The first sequel was planned to be published by them around December 2016. Unfortunately, things went wrong with them as described later.

In 2014, with my own self-publishing imprint, Etcetera Press, I self-published my largest book, 358 pages of THE BEST OF THE TENERIFE TALL TALES, selected from my earlier award winning trilogy, which has that most generous introduction by the late legendary, American SciFi author Harry Harrison. We met up in 2007 at a convention in Copenhagen, and he later visited me for a most illuminating week in Tenerife, Spain where my wife and I were on vacation. He liked my stories, and gave me a glowing introduction to use with one collection, but said I really had to write a novel if I seriously wanted to get anywhere.

So that I did, as described earlier, and now things are progressing well. My very latest effort has been to self-publish an analysis of the coming Artificial Intelligence revolution, in a book entitled, THE SINGULARITY IS COMING. It has become my best selling title. Most people I talk to have never heard of the phenomenon, and yet many scientists and other experts believe it will arrive in less than a decade and change all out lives completely. If you don't yet know about it you should... and you know how to find out about it, don't you? i.e. See my website: www.tonythornembe.com.

Last October it was acquired by the IT Books Division of the Chinese Information Ministry Publisher, PTPress in Bejing. for publication in simplified Chinese eBook, hardback, and paperback versions, scheduled for release in June 2016... and it was! So how did that wonderful breakthrough come about? Their Publishing Manager simply found me while searching through the Internet and took it from there. In his own words, “I wanted a follow up to Ray Kurzweil’s book on the subject and your book is concise and easy to understand.”
Now for the Eternal Press sad story..
