good family? For French suit salesman, Vincent Boyer, in 1960, it's

Writing the original Bikini Car Wash helped me craft the very
writing process I hitchhiked out to Hollywood to find as I turned
20. This writing process became the course book How to be a
Prolific Screenwriter with the help of UCLA Extension. So, mixed
into all this murder mystery, arose magic out of the ashes, because
I saw it through, didn't give up, and got the writing assignment
done in ten days as asked, for less than nothing. In the end, I
created something I can call my own and teach to others. This
process has evolved into an International Screenplay Contest where
the winner becomes certificate to teach the process wherever they
desire. To publish the course book, I launched LapTopPublishing.com
and later YoungStar Studios, where I continue to develop and teach
educational enrichment programs for adults, teens and children. My
books, stage plays, videos and courses can be found at
universities, on Amazon and in bookstores worldwide. I was happy
with the original Bikini Car Wash screenplay. It was cute and
snappy, had three romantic stories going through it, and all the
minor characters interacted to give them life. I wrote the role of
Preacher for me and had fun playing him. However, things did not
work out as planned. Something went wrong. This book is about the
Hollywood murder mystery that took place during production, what
happened to everyone, and how we got involved.
Alien Mobster is the thrilling conclusion to Jozeph Picasso Alien
Trilogy Act 3 Filmmaking Adventures. Hold on to your flying

filmmaking action that doesn't end until he yells cut Torn apart

into something that could mean the end to life as we know it. In
the end, the monster he has to become in exchange to finish his
movie is beyond anything a filmmaker has ever had to endure. Face
to face with himself, it's up to Picasso to decide which life to
live.
Customer Review: July 26, 2013 By Lucia Humes 5.0 out of 5 stars -
Rip roaring fun. The action never stops and keeps you turning the
pages. Great characters and plot twists. Karl J. Niemiec has a wry
sense of humor that runs throughout. An action adventure-detective
mystery, set in 1979, Portland Cooper, is a hardnosed Corsa
Mechanic (Engine Whisperer), belonging to the North Hollywood
Corvair Club, who works for his beautiful publicist girlfriend,
Gwen Hawkins, solving show biz problems that get him into a lot of
trouble. Boys will be boys. But motorheads take it beyond the legal
limits. As kids, they grew up together, as teens they built cars
together, as twenty somethings they took on the streets of LA
together. As men it's time to see who gets the girl together in a
pedal to the metal citywide demolition mystery behind the wheels of
their pride and joys. Only one drives away from the carnage of 1966
American and German classics - Porsche verses Corsa, to love
another day. See original photos of Portland Cooper's Corsa at:
http: //www.laptoppublishing.com/bullet-hole-drive/. His car was
seen in California Hotwax and was driven by Joe Average featured in
Narcotic Justice and driven by Jozeph Picasso in the novel trilogy
Jozeph Picasso's Alien Trilogy - Filmmaking Adventures.
"P.D. (Puppy Dog) Brown - Learns How To Fly" is about the
inspirational powers behind encouraging friends and family to
fulfill their lifelong dreams.

Even better than Alien Made. You know I'm a big Jozeph Picasso fan.
Bluman Young ( Los Angeles, CA ) Jozeph Picasso is such a great
character - moving around like a pawn on an Alien chessboard. You
have made it so enjoyable I can't wait to read what happens to
Jozeph next. Dinah Watkins, ( Carmel, IN ) Reports of missing
persons have increased six fold in the past 25 years, from roughly
150,000 in 1980 to about 900,000 this year. It's maddening knowing
what they are doing with us. More so because Picasso knows what
they'll do to his loved ones if he tells anyone what he knows to be
true. We are not alone And it's all about the Alien Biz. Jozeph
Picasso now rents to the first Alien to reach Earth. A powerful
one. It also inhabits the most charismatic bloodsucking Alien Clone
in the history of humankind. Gray McGuiness, known in the Biz as
The Magical Man. Dangerous studio heads attempt to kill Picasso and
his filmmaking dreams. He's exiled into a showbiz untouchable while
living off his poodle's flourishing acting career. He gets torn
apart, buried alive, sewn back into a modern-day Frankenstein, and
twisted-crazy into another Alien Mob misadventure - that insanely
clouds his love life. Even worse, The Alien Council forces Jozeph
into another bagman job to prevent a worldwide revolution between
humans and aliens. And if he fails, they'll have to set the
evolutionary clock back to the Dark Ages. Look for Alien Made Act 1
and Alien Mobster Act 3 Find out more about Karl J. Niemiec and

5 Star Amazon Review July 21, 2013 - by Dale Malisiak Being of
Polish ancestry, I was drawn to this book. Being a fan of gangster
films, books didn't hurt either. I wasn't disappointed. Polish -vs-
Italian gangsters. Interesting. Introducing THE POLISH GANG A must
have in any library. A classic in the making, The Polish Gang
delivers from laugh to bullet. A must read for American history
buffs, action adventure hounds and love story fans The Polish Gang
takes you deep into the heart of the Roaring Twenties. It violently
shakes your emotions with both good and evil characters. Often
lighthearted, yet tenderly thoughtful, Karl J. Niemiec clearly
captures a Runyonesque sense of humor. Back Cover: In the grips of
the "Roaring Twenties" Detroit was wide open to bootleggers and
murderers. Dollars by the fistful were for the taking by anyone
strong, cunning and murderous enough to chance dying for them. A
city in a stupor, gone mad with drink, where blood ran at the drop
of rum, Detroit became a civilization taken over by strong-armed
gang members. During this time of social unrest, at the very height
of prohibition, there existed - now only in old-timers' porch swing
tales that grow mysteriously dim as time slips by - a small band of
young men known as The Polish Gang. Just what happened to The
Polish Gang? Where did they go? And why do so few people remember?
And why, in a time of such profound documentation and national
scrutiny of one city is there but one small newsprint article
hinting about this elusive band of young men? These mysteries and
more are answered in The Polish Gang. Inside Flap: Though this
story is a complete work of fiction loosely based on my
grandfather's family, the naked girl in the back seat of my pop's
convertible on the front lawn of Michal's Bar was not. This is a
'what if' she was promised to someone else - a love story set in
1929 Detroit. Inspired by the antics of my pop, Bronislaus Niemiec.
A Sci-Fi Mystery Aliens and Horror creatures twist into three
mysterious sci-fi acts to cloak true stories of surviving the
darker side of Hollywood. While pushing to get his first studio
film made, Jozeph Picasso finds himself the bagman to an Alien Mob,
and the likely suspect in four brutal murders of his deadbeat
tenants. All he wants is his life and dog back. Instead, he finds
the maddening truth. We are not alone. Life as we know it doesn't
exist. And there's nothing he can do about it. Watch for Alien Biz
out now and Alien Mobster - out 2013. More of Karl J. Niemiec's
works at LapTopPublishing.com. "What fun What a page-turner
Couldn't put it down. I zipped through this book in record time.
Plot is bizarre, characters are fascinating, and the dialogue is
all snap-crackle-pop. I want the next one NOW " Barbara Harper (Los
Angeles, Ca.) I just loved your book. At first I thought it was a
straight-up murder/mystery, but when that weird cocker spaniel
showed up I realized there was much more going on; and I must tell
you it was a riot reading all the twists and turns and the trouble
Jozeph Picasso got into. I couldn't stop reading. Your next book,
Alien Biz is eagerly awaited. Dinah Watkins, Carmel, Indiana A note
on living in LA: It's the competition for showbiz jobs that makes
living in LA so harsh. Everyone is looking to survive from job to
job and part of the complex reality is keeping the other person
from getting what you want. When you visit you are treated kindly,
but once you move to LA you are just at the same table reaching for
that perceived last piece of pie. It's that sense of being on the
outside looking in on a showbiz career that I based Jozeph Picasso
Alien Trilogy - Filmmaking Adventures on. I twisted it into a
sci-fi adventure to keep those who know that I know from breaking
my legs for telling it in print. But in truth, the only true way to
beat LA is to be that person who creates jobs for others based upon
your perceived talents, the image, that persona, you've created for
yourself. Then you are wanted and needed to keep food on the table
for others. But don't let that fool you. Keeping food on the table
for those below you is an everlasting struggle, yet an honor, but
keep food on the grand table of those above you, and suddenly you
are the golden child and life seems to be a gift, even if it's just
to make their lives work better as their irreplaceable assistant.
In either case, it's the smart ones who know that to stay relevant
in LA you have to keep reinventing yourself daily, even in the
slightest way, and creating that air of importance and better than
thou, or yes being a jerk, is just part of keeping your feet out of
the La Brea Tar Pits - the real story under the Sun and Palm
postcards of living in LA. Karl J. Niemiec
5 out of 5 stars Screenwriting, January 5, 2013 By eiggjohn -
Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: "I found this to be a
very helpful addition to my 'Screenplay How to Books'. It takes a
little while to grasp the concept but once grasped it is never to
be forgotten. Plus by using this formula it does leave time for
other things in life. A great companion to 'The Screenwriters
Bible'." "Finally, a no-nonsense handbook for getting a first draft
done." Mary McIntyre Brown Writer/Producer - Pentacom Productions.
How to be a Prolific Screenwriter is a Simple
Five-Step-Reformatting Technique that turns your outlines and books
into screenplays and stage plays. A great writing tool for students
of all ages. It is a comprehensive accessory to all screenplay and
stage play writing books, software and classes for both new and
experienced writers. It helps eliminate fear of the blank page
forever. By the end of this book you can read "The Night Before
Halloween" the script that got me my first Hollywood Agent and
you'll understand why everyone can write screenplays and stage
plays this way. If you are an agent, manager or teacher who would
like to see your clients or students become more prolific, send
them a copy of Prolific Screenwriter today. To use this simple
Five-Step Reformatting Technique a writer will need a computer.
This book is designed to speed up the script writing process
allowing the writer to get more ideas into screenplay structure in
less time. Those of you who are already proficient with the
screenplay page and story structure will find this reformatting
technique extremely helpful. For those of you who are not familiar
with screenplay page structure I recommend using Final Draft. For
the professional screenwriter shackled by writing other people's
visions -- this technique will help fulfill your fruitfulness and
free up your time to work on your own projects. If you're in film
school this book could possibly keep you sane, leave you time to
study and give you hope. The faster you type the faster this
technique will work. The more you know about screenplay structure
the more this technique will work. The better storyteller you are
the better this technique will work. For those of you who are using
similar formulas that deal with complete outlines, you're in luck.
This book is for you. Happy Writing. Karl J. Niemiec
