I nailed a $250K contract from a major publisher. I was the talk of New York City, written about in the trades, and movie stars like Robert DeNiro and George Clooney were interested in the movie rights. I bought a new house, hired a personal trainer for the wife, put the kids in private school, and partied most weekend in NYC like I was a rock star. It was a fabulous time that I'll never forget. It was also one of the worst periods of my life.
