  My Betty-- Earning Her Promotion...

  Drew and Betty Stevens have such a great life. He's a river cruise boat captain who spends his weeks on the Seine River surrounded by gorgeous French countryside. She’s a tour guide working on the same boat!
   
  Ah, life is good. And it's about to get better. One morning, Drew and Betty are approached by a human resources director for the cruise line, who informs them that Betty is being promoted to cruise director!
   
  There's just one slight problem: Before this promotion can move forward, the HR director, Jerome Ferguson, needs to be convinced that Betty will be ready, willing, and able to take any and all orders from her husband, who will now be her boss.
   
  Betty assures Ferguson that she is up for the task. But he wants proof. He wants a "demonstration." And this demonstration will consist of Drew issuing her a string of commands that are sufficiently "difficult" for Betty to carry out.
   
  And to Jerome Ferguson, "difficult" means really dirty!
   
  Well, now, Drew can't resist! You see, as much as he adores his beautiful and wonderful wife, he’s been frustrated for years by Betty's lack of "open-mindedness" in the bedroom. Betty is conservative to the max. And this has been hard on poor Drew, who would like nothing more than to add some zesty spice to their sex-life.
   
  Well, Drew gets a little carried away with his newfound power. And his demands go beyond "dirty!"
   
  But that's not all. Not only is this demonstration arousing him to no end. Even better, it is giving him a sweet taste of what it's like to have a wife who is totally submissive to him--totally under his control--totally dominated by him--and humiliated out of her mind!
   
  Bottom line: Betty is now entirely under Drew’s control--at work and after hours--and now that Drew has assumed that new role, he's never going back!

  The Era of Nighttime Has Begun... 
  Forty years have passed since the end of the vampire/human war. Vampires have taken over the planet and have settled in, making themselves comfortable in the infrastructure their predecessors built, with just a few adjustments to ensure a permanent night. 
  Humans still exist, tightly controlled, because the alpha species needs to eat. But even after four decades of peace, Reginald can't shake his conviction that the war never really ended — that the archive he still holds in his blood warns of an ominous change on the horizon. 
  As old foes rise, the power structures of both races begin to falter and the very existence of life on Earth (both hot-blooded and undead) hangs in the balance. Rebel humans have developed new and frightening weapons, and they aren't afraid to use them even if it could mean the end of everything. And Reginald Baskin — always an outcast, always neglected — may be the only chance to stop it.

  Stan, an Elton John tribute act, has always believed his music career was destined for greatness. But with every missed opportunity and closed door, frustration mounts. One night, after a few too many drinks, Stan stumbles upon a startling theory: his lack of success isn’t bad luck—it’s because Sir Elton John himself is standing in his way. Desperate to change his fate, Stan concocts a reckless plan to take down the music legend and reclaim his own future. 
  Enlisting his friends George and Ziggy, Stan sets out on a mission that quickly spirals beyond anything they imagined. What starts as a wild, half-baked scheme soon draws them into dangerous territory, where murky figures from the underworld take an unexpected interest in their plan. Blackmail and threats escalate, leaving the trio no choice but to press on, even as the absurdity of their quest becomes undeniable. 
  As word of their intentions spreads, they find themselves caught between law enforcement, obsessive fans, and their own growing doubts. With every step, the line between fantasy and reality blurs—are they really chasing fame, or have they become pawns in a game they don’t understand? 
  Killing Elton John is a darkly comic and twisted tale of ambition, delusion, and the lengths we go to rewrite our own stories. Will Stan and his friends succeed in their impossible mission, or are they destined to unravel before they even reach the legend they seek to slay?

  1961 Greenwich Village; a Fable  
  Gently comedic and poignant with a fanciful, mythical slant. 
    
            An uplifting tale from an inspirational era. 
    
  What if… a whimsical, droll Brit reflects on a magical, wondrous time in his life …? 
  What if… a mere sketch of their face could expose a person's true self, for better or for worse…? 
  What if… a mediocre artist was called out as a fraud, a folk singer's talent was enhanced and a woman couldn't offend, no matter what audacious things she said…? 
  What if… a couple in love, could transcend culture, race, and avarice…? 
    
    It happened in 1961 in Greenwich Village, NY. Or was it just a fable?
