Over the last month, I’ve been working with Greg Wright on a new comic book project called “Monstrous”.
It’s got steam powered robots & monsters that span the imagination. In this pilot, we meet a little girl who has to team up with a monster for hire to avenge her father’s death. What I love about MONSTROUS, is that it has the “IT” factor that I believe will be enjoyed by young and old. It has fun moments, scary moments and head turning moments.
Sometimes I wish could just read the entire series already instead of having to create it. It’s not that I don’t enjoy working on it (trust me – it’s a blast)… it’s the fact that I have to wait on my slow butt to finish it. Ha!
, working with businesses nationwide as a motivational speaker, executive coach, and business growth specialist. Most importantly, the dynamic self-described “music nut” is the forty-year-old father of four teenage girls. If Greg has any qualifications to write Daddy Dates (“Questionable, at best,” he says), Victoria, Hailee, Whitney, and Madison are the highlights of his resume. The family lives in the Live Music Capital of the World—Austin, Texas. Daddy Dates is his first book.
About the book:
Like many boys, Greg Wright wanted to be around beautiful women when he grew up. Then he learned the truth of “watch what you wish for.” By 29, Greg was a motivational leader surrounded by gorgeous girls 24/7.
In his own home.
When faced with the reality of raising four beautiful daughters, he went into the woods to plan a strategy for being a successful dad and came back with a mission: Don’t Screw Up.
Daddy Dates is Greg’s funny and moving saga of how he intentionally pursued knowing his girls and in the process, figured out how to overcome the dad-daughter communication barrier, regardless of age or personality type.
This witty and relatable book poses the wildly original concept that should be a “duh” for most men–but isn’t: In order raise a confident woman-to-be, fathers should show their girls what it feels like when a man truly has her best interest at heart.
Just in time for Father’s Day 2011, the self-described “regular-Joe” shares his formula for how both married and single dads can go beyond Hi-Fiving to bridge the gender gap and better connect with his female child… no matter how seemingly close or estranged she may already by.
Daddy Dates is written in an entertain and highly original voice that will appeal to both men and women. It is the kind of action-oriented “how to” material that guys enjoy, and will recommend to their friends. It doesn’t matter how old you are, how much money you have, or whether you wear camo or cashmere– ever father, husband, son and brother can learn something from Greg Wright’s evocative and enlightening read.
