Starchild update: Lloyd PyeTELEVISION DEBUT NOVEMBER 27: National Geographic SpecialNew York publishers await public reactionHi, Everyone, Okay, things are now serious with the Starchild situation and I need help from each of you, not financially but creatively. As you know, the book I've written about my seven years guiding the skull through its scientific testing has been sent by my agent to editors in New York. For several it wasn't the kind of project they want to handle, but seven are still considering it. They are now sitting on it, waiting for the results of the National Geographic documentary to be first aired on Monday, November 27 at 8:00 pm Eastern Time, and then again and again in reruns over the next several months.
The documentary is completely out of our hands. The skeptics they employ on these shows will say what they're going to say about it. Our hope has always been that the strong focus we've kept on scientific testing will carry the day with viewers and cause them to take a closer look at it on the website. That's the most we can hope for in that regard. However, when it comes to publishers, we can still influence that outcome. We need to mount a two-pronged attack, one directed at people within our field, and one directed at new people outside our field. I'll take that second prong. I'm going to submit a press release to every kind of major media I can reach during this upcoming month. If the mainstream chooses to ignore it, there's not much we can do about that, but you can be sure they will have KNOWN about it. All of them... http://www.starchildproject.com/ As for alerting people in our field, this is where each of you come in. I simply can't cover all these bases in the limited time I have available. I'll be swamped with the mainstream people, so I need all of you to let all of your friends know that the National Geographic show is airing on the 27th. Tell them it's part of the "Is It Real?" series, and it will be an episode called "Ancient Astronauts." In addition to me and the Starchild skull, they can see Erich Von Daniken and Zecharia Sitchin, among others in the lineup, and we think it's going to be a fascinating hour no matter what kind of garbage the skeptics use to try to dismiss it.
Also, and this is vital, I need all of you to notify OUR media about the show so we can get those viewer numbers up and prove to National Geographic that there is indeed a larger audience than they think for this kind of material. To this end I'll be on Coast to Coast again on Thanksgiving Eve, Thursday night the 23rd, to announce the show to that part of our community. But I need you all to let all the other radio hosts know about it and ask them to please announce it on their programs if they will. I don't have time to do interviews with all of them, naturally, but if they'd be kind enough to simply announce it a time or two or three (starting anytime after November 15th or so), that would be an enormous help to the cause. Naturally, this notification should also apply to your personal friends who might have a taste for it, and especially to any websites or blogs you frequent. Please let them know we'll be on the show on the 27th, and we need their support to get the word to their members by whatever means they use to communicate among themselves. None of this is hard to do, but it IS time consuming and I have no one to turn to for help with it other than each of you. (This goes for Europe and , too. I've been told our episode will be syndicated worldwide with the others in the "Is It Real?" series in a matter of a few months, if not sooner. Last, and literally most important, we need to make a statement to the publishers in New York, who keep telling my agent that our community does not support its projects well and does not buy books in enough numbers to warrant serious investment of their promotional efforts in the Starchild book. We need to demonstrate that they're wrong, and we've come up with a workable way to do that. Whenever you contact anyone, please inform them they can now find a new special treat on the Starchild website at this link: http://www.starchildproject.com/SCBookPublic.htm. Please ask everyone you direct there to check the brief overview of the book that's now available, as well as the 1500-word exerpt that reveals the names and location of the Starchild's true owners. This is their "coming out party," so to speak, and the excerpt will give anyone who reads it a good idea of the book's overall tone. If that satisfies them, ask them to please insert their email address into the box provided there to add themselves to the notification list for when the book is officially available for sale (about a year from now, next fall). Stress that getting on the list is NOT an obligation to buy. It's merely a notification that the book is available, and their email address will be used for NO OTHER purpose. Enough. I hope you now understand why I need your help, and exactly what I need you to do. I can promise I'll do my part, and I assume you'll do yours. We're all in this together, as we have been for seven years. P.S. For those of you in the Tampa-St. Pete area, I'll be on "The Kathy Fountain Show" on Fox 13 at noon on Thursday, Nov. 9th, two days after the election. Catch it if you can!
