Diane and Mike are in Cincy for a book signing at BN Westchester tonight 6-8. Friday we are talking to Highlands middle and then signing at Blue Marble in Fort Thomas. Saturday is the Books by the Bank book festival.
We visited Collingswood Middle School in NJ and then were hosted by the literary festival on Oct 3. It was a great town with wonderful folks. We had a super time. On the way up, we ate at Phillips Seafood in Baltimore. The market pix are in Philly, the one where Rocky ran down in his famous workout.
Its hard to describe how deflating it is after being immersed in movie world for 8 weeks. It was nonstop action then I am back to sitting on the sofa. Luckily, we have been speaking to schools about the topics of the movie, bullying and obesity, along with writing, the book and of course the movie. It has been loads of fun and certainly gives inspiration for our future. Diane and I are now writing for examiner.com
You can go on www.examiner.com and find Atlanta Obesity Examiner
Also, we are getting back into editing manuscripts if anyone out there needs to work on their words. Go through www.langbuchanan.com or write us through here.
To get your copy of the novel, go to any Barnes and Noble (if they dont have it, they can order it), www.Amazon.com or www.bn.com or any independent bookstore. Also, check out www.thefatboychronicles.com for videos about obesity and one of Doug Hennig, the young man who inspired the story and movie.
We are filming in the pizza place today. Boy, is it hot. We have to keep the fans off because of the noise. Some shots are from Jimmy hiding in the bathroom after his sister discovers he and Paul.
Here are a few shots from set. One is Jimmy being taunted by Nate, the next is filming in the church, the scene where Jimmy and Sable come back together, and the other one is Director Jason Winn talking to Kelly Washington(Sable) and Chris Rivera (Jimmy Winterpock)
