Welcome to the Lee Roystone blog:
I think that I should explain "Hedge Fund Mistress." By the
time John Kerry won Iowa this novel was mainly completed.
There is a chapter on a character who dated a United States
senator. When John won my first reaction was: What do I do
now? Shelve my book? Rewrite the book? That portion of
the book is crucial to the story.
It puts me in a strange situation because I do not want my
personal experience with him to be twisted and I put nothing
past the right wing talk show hosts - especially in such a
close election (I hate Rush Limbaugh - in the book I call him
"The Rash"). Anyway, I'm not really sure what to do. John
may certainly read it before it goes to press for his input but, I
will ultimately make the decision on what is printed.
July 24, 2004. I think I should not release "Hedge Fund
Mistress" until November 2nd. Although it is a fiction novel I
don't want my words twisted or my meaning misconstrued.
Plus, I don't want the current political situation to affect my
honesty as a writer. It is just a story meant for entertainment.
I love my country and I have the greatest respect for John.
The book is a mainstream book with adult themes and I
believe there would be plenty of fodder for the hate
mongering right wing talk show hosts.
July 25, 2004 "Hedge Fund Mistress" is in a safe place.
You may pre-order the book. I still not sure what to do. In the
event something happens to me, the book is still scheduled
to go out. In the meantime, order "What About the Dead?"
August 2, 2004. I have decided not to have a blog, but I
wish to dispel a rumour: A journalist (who I'm not naming
because he's been critical of John for years), two days ago
on national TV, said that John was living on other people's
couches before he married Teresa. Not accurate. I'm not
saying John didn't go through rough times in his life (most
people do) but by the time he met her in ’90 he had a
gorgeous place on Commonwealth Avenue: A huge floor
through, high ceilings, etc. In June ’91 he moved to 89
Beacon Street to a more modest place that had better
parking. More modest but still lovely and still prime real
estate directly across from the Public Garden and a block
away from the Ritz. Homeless? Gimme a break!
Enough said.
Vote for John in November!
August 18, 2004. Gee wiz - what a commotion. Perhaps
this was a bad idea. No one is even buying any books. So
what is the point? Democrats and Republicans are all
sending me hate mail. I concede defeat. I'm a wimp. This
was a bad idea. August 19, 2004
I will be removing the John Kerry scrapbook - I just can't right
now. I like it. I took off some of the controversial stuff.
I just finished weeding through 500 hate emails from
Republicans and Democrats. Ouch. Also, I'm dealing with
the reality that I had 16,000 hits and absolutely zero book
orders. I realized that this was an experiment that did not
work. Please think of this like that episode of Dallas that
was all a bad dream.
...
,,,
All those nice media people who called and wanted to put
me on tv. Thank you. That was kind of you but if doesn't sell
books and it exposes me to universal scorn with absolutely
no benefit, then what is the point?
John is the best man for the job. Vote for John!
Next morning: I just woke up to 500+ more emails. I
glanced at a few and they are mainly evil. Didn't anyone think
the website was interesting and informative? Gee - I guess
not. Oh well I'm going to delete all the emails and have a cup
of coffee. I'm also taking away the contact feature. I really
don't want any more evil email. Leegate is over.
Democrats: John's campaign is intact - relax. Republicans:
Shut up! Face reality for all of our sake - George is awful.
Later: Wow. A++ media have called. Amazing. Thanks for
your interest. If you are still interested in me or the book in
November (after the election) please do call. "Hedge Fund
Mistress" will be available everywhere and I will be happy to
speak freely. Although there is a political angle to the story it
is also an expose on the hedge fund world and hedge fund
managers. Hedge fund managers are a little known group of
people and many of them are enormously wealthy. Some
people believe that hedge fund managers are the real people
in power - worldwide. Humm, people in power without any
accountability?
Vote for John!
