DEADEYE - Dedicated to Everyone Who Ever Wanted to be a Cowboy Includes 21 original illustrations by celebrated artist Stephen Marchesi In 1950s and 60s America, when cowboy shows flooded the TV airwaves, almost every kid in the country wanted to be a cowboy or cowgirl when they grew up. In time, however, reality intervened and most had to settle for less fulfilling occupations. But Richard Wentworth, a troubled young lawyer who's unhappy with both his job and his life, realizes the only thing he ever really wanted to be is a cowboy and decides to head west. In this book, screenwriter Jay Moriarty has created a timely tale that pays homage to all those iconic cowboy shows that embodied America's core values, with a tip of the Stetson to Don Quixote. If you like Roy Rogers-not to mention The Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy, The Cisco Kid, Annie Oakley, Johnny Mack Brown, Wild Bill Elliot-grab this book and saddle-up for a fast read and a fun ride with Deadeye, the most unlikely modern Everyman to join the list of legendary cowboy heroes. SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE**As soon as a Major Director decides to make it.
