James and the Giant Pumpkin?

By -

 

James and the Giant PeachI found James and the Giant Peach one of the best live-action animation marriages of the 20th century.

If you missed it, its stop-motion-like production gave it a dreamy feel kinda like Wallace and Gromit did when you first laid eyes on ‘em.

The movie starts out in real-life like Roger Rabbit and Cool World dared to do way back in the 1980’s and early 90’s.

James escapes his evil step-mothers by hitching a ride on a magical peach, across the ocean to New York city.

That’s when the adventure turns a little creepy, but in a good Nightmare before Christmas kinda way.

The story inspired me to write a similar tale of whimsy about another young boy who was estranged from his father.

But instead of a peach, their relationship rested on the maiden voyage of a magical pumpkin, through the vacuum of space.

Just in time for Halloween, Bookflurry has made the ten minute tale available FREE.

Now you can follow the pumpkin from patch to planet.

     "I remember everything." said Chris Stephens, during an interview late in August. "I remember meeting you in Memphis, Tennessee. We both worked at Kroger and I was stocking the dairy section. You came up to me with some lettuce in your hands and asked me if I trained at Kang Rhee's Pasa Ryu Kung Fu center."      That was more than ten years ago.      Since early last month, I have had the privilege of working on Chris's biography: A Bounty Hunter's Guide to Success , due out in early January. That much I can remember, but don't ask me too many details; that's why my computer has a save button. If someone were to ask me what I was doing ten years ago, the blank my mind drew would have been evident through my stare and a sarcastic remark would've raced to fill in the void.      A super sharp memory is one of the gifts that some kids with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) are born with. Though Christopher is no longe

Have you ever heard of someone feeling better because they have been taking a cold shower every morning? Has a friend or family member ever told you how great they feel after cutting sugar out of their diet? I think we all have witnessed how amazing people begin to look when they dedicate themselves to an exercise regimen. Are these things just better for us, or is there a secret behind doing things that we really, would just rather not do?       I had been working as an EMT for the better part of ten years, and had become quite use to seeing and doing things that nobody would rather do. The horrific and stressful experiences I placed myself in at work, more than one hundred hours a week, had in turn caused me to produce a home-life that was pretty cozy. Thus, when I changed jobs to a less stressful one, I started gaining weight and became much more volatile. Why, when I had much less stress in my life, was I declining physically and emotionally?      Yes, I had begun drinking m
