About the book:

A pocket book version of the memoirs is in the works. I'm looking for a publisher, distributor, movie producer, or agent and here's why.

 

Crazier than Pecos Bill, more impossible than Baron Munchausen, The CliffR Project is the wildest most unlikely romp of memoirs you will ever likely encounter. And it's all real.

Who else would turn down McDonalds for all of Canada, twice. Who else almost caused a Air Force acrobatic Jet team to have a collective heart attach because they thought he had teleported forty five hundred miles right under their very noses.

Or who else has a signed 'thank you' letter on official White House stationary from both the then President of the United States, Bill Clinton, and then Vice President Al Gore, and was also on welfare.

And who else sells flowers in bars and restaurants at the age of sixty five to live on, and co-owns a four million dollar web name and is waiting for the courts to give it back after somebody stole it.

Who else?? Well there are hundreds and hundreds of stories. And they are all hilarious, unlikely, or wooly covering all walks of life. Some are so outright unbelievable it’s almost impossible to imagine they are true. Some are out and out uncanny.

The book is called 'The CliffR Project', a catchword for a task the author set upon himself years ago to not end up on a cot at the Sally Ann by the age of sixty five. Often whimsical and irreverent the autobiography is always alluring and enduring. It is also often philosophical and coy and could just as easily been called ‘What are the odds’, 'Life is like a kosher burrito’, or ‘Murphy's got my number', because they all sum up what’s been going with this guy’s crazy life at every turn.

Like the fact that he’s nearly sixty five, but at the moment is selling roses through bars and restaurants for groceries and rent because the web site www.look.com, isn’t bringing in the bacon yet. Like how many other high end executives do you know who would stuff a bunch of roses in a vase and hit the bars when the going gets rough. 

Don't believe it? You need to read the sample chapters at the top, specially Chapter 4.

By the time you've finished you should realize that Cliff is anything but your normal guy down the street and that this book is anything but your standard bowl of corn flakes.

The book is in two volumes, which have been combined into one for this special website offering. You are invited to purchase the entire 39 Chapter Ebook for $19.95. For media types, the whole ebook is free for review though the media link. Hopefully you will like it enough to make it your next front page story.

If you are not with the media, then hopefully you will like it enough to tell your friends and family. Or blog it to pieces if you know what blogs are. Or put up a sign on your front lawn. Or if you run an web site or publish an ezine, sick a mention in.

 

For the curious, a full draft version is available under the 'Free' option at the top right.

If you are, or know of, an Agent, Publisher, or movie producer and could be interested, please contact me via the 'Contact link' below.

Thanks and bless, Cliff.

In writing it is hard to find an individual approach that stands out from the crowd, but this is what Canadian author Clifton Livingstone has done in this distinctive work which lives up to it's billing as a 'non-stop romp morning, noon and night'. A born entrepreneur, the protagonist tells the story of his life through a fascinating and oftimes hilarious succession of adventures that have been his life's love and work in an uncanny parallel to the seeming mores and opportunities of real life.

The romps form a series of 'vignettes' that work in their own right over and above the narrative. Writing is about addressing other people; Mr. Livingstone has accurately identified what it is about life's experiences that could be of interest to other people, and this promises to give the work a more universal appeal than the average straight forward narrative novel can offer.

In the portion we received, the writing style is just right; personable, consistently funny without having to try too hard and always engaging. The author's self-imposed demand that all included material be entertaining and/or thought provoking for the benefit of others is a rule from which many writers could benefit.

There is no doubt that the section of your book, which you sent me concerning the flower selling days, has great potential for a movie along the lines of Forrest Gump or Alice's Restaurant. Unfortunately as I mentioned, I am tied up in a project involving CTV's Ronnie Hawkins for at least the next four or five months so can't undertake a commitment at this time. If however, you are still uncommitted at the end of the time frame, I would definitely like to sit with you and discuss the prospects. This is a unique character study that would no doubt attract a wide audience.

In the meantime, as I mentioned, I will dig up a few contacts for you and send some emails to try and help you shake this thing loose. I understand you would like to get something out to the public now rather than later to help promote your website project. With the potential that this material has, in the right hands, it could be something to be very proud of.

Sincerely.
