Development Pitch
Gun Kiss is filled with adventure, history, and a little romance -- all wrapped up in one action-packed package. Blake Deco, the protagonist, is an intense personality in contrast to his sidekick and ex-army buddy, Jack, who suffers from PTSD yet lives a care-free life. The story features the primary theme of Hope. Blake struggles with his life after returning from Iraq. He runs a taco restaurant along Sunset Boulevard, which is not doing well. He covers his expenses by freelancing for Home Security as an artifact recoverer. He also has a drawer of rejected movie scripts (his first love is writing). Goldie Saint Helen, the Hollywood movie star, also represents life lessons that not everyone in Hollywood is "plastic." She automatically falls in love with Blake, her rescuer. Goldie shares the same problems as Sharon Stone who publicly admitted she went online to look for a date because her industry is full of opportunists. Again, she hopes to find a decent man. Towards the end of the story, Goldie escapes from the drug lord's hideout in the jungles of Veracruz. When she finds herself lost, she can only hope to be rescued. If you ever read this book, think actors Chris Wood as "Blake" and Melissa Benoist as "Goldie."
