Thomas Overton is an ambitious new entrepreneur, Author, and screenwriter who simply stumbled upon his ability and career as a writer. With no real experience, he embarked on a journey that would lead him to being a published author and a journeyman who shops screenplays to Hollywood executives.
Tom's love affair with writing started while he was a Business Major, studying full-time at Drexel University. Several of his college professors told him they enjoyed reading his work and that he was a good writer. Tom had written numerous term papers and his professor’s complements began to spark his writing interests. In that same year, Tom got into some trouble with the law and was sentenced to do two years in the Delaware County Prison. Tom's college education had to wait while he paid his debt to society. While incarcerated, he decided to put his skills to use and practice the talents he had been praised for while attending college. The talent of being a good writer.
In order to avoid insanity, depression, and boredom often caused by incarceration, Tom came up with a writing concept that one of his fellow inmates thought would be a great movie. Since he didn’t know how to structure a movie script, he had David Trottier's "Screenwriters' Bible" sent to where he was being housed. Tom studied the screenwriting book from front to back. At the completion of his two-year bid, he'd written four complete screenplays, eleven synopses, and thirty-two titles.
Since his release, obtaining a literary agent or a film deal has been difficult.
Instead of waiting on the industry to come to him, Tom bought himself to the industry.
He decided to convert one of his completed screenplays into a novel. While writing the novel, Tom met an independent publisher who liked the story and decided to publish it. The novel is called "Murder With A Deadly Weapon"
His second novel, "Keys to the Franchise" will be released in 2008 through his own publishing company called Live 2 Die Publishing.
Live 2 Die Publishing came from Tom's vision of seeing more Urban Novels come to the screen. Tom reaches out to urban authors to publish their novels and convert them into scripts so that he can shop them or produce them himself into independent films. Tom is a lot more than an author. He is a visionary leading the Urban Author into the next generation. Tom figures why settle for just having your books on the shelves? There are so many opportunities in the new media age that one should exploit as much as they can. Just as he didn't wait on the big publishers to come and publish his first novel, Tom will not wait on Hollywood to produce the films he writes or what he adapts from the novels under his publishing company. Tom wants to publish and convert Urban novels into screenplays and give others the opportunity to do the same.So, upon it's release, DON'T MISS The story about the life of a Glock nine. It will touch the lives of every and any person who have ever ran these mean streets. From a pawnshop to the hands of many, the Glock became a killer.PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT URBAN FICTION and see how this urban author dictates the Glock's wild journey.THE URBAN FICTION NOVEL WILL BE IN A BOOKSTORE NEAR YOU SOMETIME THIS FALL.....

And the funny thing is, writing is a career that he'd just stumbled upon.To make a long story short, in 2003, he was a Business major studying full-time at Drexel University where he'd written numerous term papers. Several of his college professors would tell him that he was a good writer and their complements began to spark his writing interests. In that same year, Mr. Overton had gotten into some trouble and sentenced to do two years in the county prison. While incarcerated, he decided to practice some of the talents that he'd been praised about while previously attending college. He came up with a concept that one of his fellow inmates thought would be a good movie. So, he began to write urban fictional stories in the form of screenplays. Not knowing how to structure a script, he had David Trottier's "Screenwriters' Bible" sent in and he studied in from front to back. At the completion of his two-year bid, he'd written four completed screenplays, eleven synopses, and thirty-two titles. Since his release, obtaining a film deal and/or a literary agent has been difficult, so he'd decided to convert one of his completed scripts into a novel. His first novel, "Murder With a DEADLY WEAPON" will be published and released through A Nu Direction Publishing in the upcoming new year. Besides landing a small publishing deal, Mr. Overton has been trying to actually accomplish a few other tasks with his written works. Tasks such as (1) find funding for one of his scripts so that it can be shot and distributed independently, (2) seek some formal representation so that he may be able to sell some of his other works, and (3) develop his own publishing and/or filmmaking company called "LIVE2DIE PUBLISHING". Basically, he is just trying to become a successful, working writer and accomplish the every filmmaker’s/author's task. The task of having a successful novel and a profitable film.So, ANYONE in the filmmaking/publishing world who can help him grow and expand, feel free to contact him through inbox messages on myspace.ATTENTION ALL URBAN Writers' - LIVE2DIE PUBLICATIONS is NOW accepting literary submissions.Author and CEO, Thomas Overton is in the development stages of Live2Die Publications.
