author C.B. Shiepe: Cliff Falls November 4, 2010

C.B. Shiepe, graduate of San Marino High School and USC, will discuss his screenplay that became a novel on Thursday, November 4th at 7:00 p.m. at Crowell Public Library. Cliff Falls is the story of an exploited child star on the run from his past -- until he hits that past head on. The story of how this former screenplay became a novel is an equally engaging saga that almost took a decade. Shiepe’s advice to new writers? “Don’t waste time wondering if you’re talented, just stay with it.” Shiepe will also talk about the self-publishing process which entails offset printing, distribution as well as promotion.
Whether you’re an aspiring writer or just an eager reader, this evening with C.B. Shiepe is sure to inspire. This program is free and will take place in the Barth Community Room.

What people are saying about Cliff Falls:

“A fast, cinematic read, I recognized myself in Cliff Falls…The pressure to perform and to be someone other than who we want to be is universal. C. B. Shiepe has captured that experience and married it to our celebrity-centric culture. This entertaining, insightful book is the engaging result.”
--Charles Slocum, Writers Guild of America, West

"C.B. Shiepe has struck a chord capturing the core of the 'former child star' syndrome… something we haven’t seen before. I sat up through the dark hours reading this book. It kept me turning the pages...and filled me with a sense of hope. As a man who has lived and collected thousands of genuine kid star stories, I highly recommend this illuminating and insightful work."
