I am not rich, so I am looking for someone who can realise the work that I have put into this story take a chance on it, I am sure it will be popular. My work is an autobiography of a very bad period in my life. Just a hope Ian Reed I have been trying to get someone to publish or at least realise that I have spent 4 years trying to get my words in print.

My work is an autobiography of a very bad period in my life.

Just a hope

After an interesting western adventure, the teacher becomes ill and they return to St. Louis where he is a college professor at a teachers college. I use a LOT of St. Louis history and since the main character is a former major league ball player, I get into the history of the St. Louis Cardinals,etc. The girl in the story is an elementary school teacher who has a brother that is a physician. I go into the medical history of St. Louis and since both families are Irish, I even get into a discussion about the Irish of St. Louis, the 'Kerry Patch',what happened during the 1918 flu, and there is even a section on when the main character goes to New Orleans to find out about French cuisine for his uncle's restaurant. He has been practically raised by his uncle and while he is in New Orleans, he inadvertently learns about Cajun cooking-which he brings back to St. Louis and which goes over big with the uncle's restaurants. The main character is guided by the wise pronouncements of an African-American fortune teller and in the end is honored by a student who identifies him as the p[erfect teacher who taught his students about the important things in life. Any ideas which of these I should stress? I have a love story set in 1900 St. Louis(where I once lived) which is between a student and teacher who eventually marry and move out west to avoid scandal.
