THE LYING GAME

The way I understand it, Jacquie Rogers has tagged me and now I have to tell 6 truths and one lie or six lies and one truth, people guess and the winner gets something.

Okay:
1) Natalie Wood once teased me about her special silk French panties.
2) Director Brian Forbes was furious with me for telling the truth on the set of our Jacquie Bisset Lux Beauty Soap shoot.
3) I wrote song lyrics for Disney's NBC Show, "Disney's Wonderful World" and they still run in Eastern Europe and other places.
4) Steve McQueen and I had a shootout over money and I lost big-time.
5) I optioned my screenplay STYX based on Chris Hyde's world-wide bestselling novel not once but twice..
6) Rod Serling was supportive and friendly to aspiring young writers.
7) When Disney did ads for Watcher in the Woods they warned family audiences to stay away because it was too frightening.  

So if you get it right, you will win a rare DVD copy of my dramatic film short "Extinction," which I'll have to hand-produce and snail mail to your address.

So Why Do I Record My Books as Audio Books?

Historians say Lincoln had a high pitched and reedy voice, while Stephen Douglas had a powerful bass.  Too bad nobody recorded any of that.  What kind of voice do I have?  You can hear free samples of the thunder and the magic by going to audiobooks.com and typing "John Klawitter" in the SEARCH box.  Once you get to the page featuring my books, there are free samples to awe your auditory sensibilities.  Man, don't you wish Abe had his own page on audiobooks.com?
