Knowledge is power.
If you want to do anything successfully, you must discover the proper path to enhance your journey, particularly if you have an illness you wish to overcome, and wish to lead and create a happy, productive life. Who doesn’t?
I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the beginning of January 2015, and have now been on an almost six-year journey trying to understand what went wrong in my life, and what I could do to heal and make my life normal again. I’ve had chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and a “miracle drug” called Rozlytrek (twice), that my oncologists…
My late, wonderful mother taught me a lot of great lessons. One of them was “Son, if you can sell it, and make a profit, you’ll sell something else another day. And son, there’s a buyer for everything.”
My name is Peter Miller, President, and Founder of Global Lion Intellectual Property Management — an international literary film and intellectual property management company that has evolved over several decades to become a unique force in the world of publishing, film, and digital content.
My passion is to make an author’s dreams come true and I have been blessed to do just…
It takes a lot of hard work to make great things happen. But sometimes, the greatest things that happen in your life just come to you. You might be sitting at a dinner table at a college university, and just after giving a lecture, someone might say to you: “I enjoyed your lecture, and I believe I have your next best client.” The woman who said that to me at a Fielding University event was Lady Terry Robinson, the wife of world-renowned educator, Sir Ken Robinson.
Well, she was right. From that moment on, I started working with the amazing…
I remember watching Perry Mason over fifty years ago. It wasn’t so much because I wanted to watch it, but my mother was a big fan of Raymond Burr, and way back when, there were only three television stations. NBC, CBS, and ABC. Even though we were not poor, we only had one television in the house, so if my mother wanted to watch a show, I wouldn’t suggest anything else. I sat and enjoyed it with her.
The new Perry Mason is absolutely brilliant. The opening episode is extremely dark, wherein the corpse of an infant is delivered with…
Sometime back in 1993, I received a phone call from a Chicago-based filmmaker and author, Jay Bonansinga. He had just seen me on the Joan Rivers show and felt the urge to contact me. I’ve been working with Jay ever since that day, now going on 28 years. I had no idea I’d end representing some twenty books (or more) and film deals for him.
Jay was writing a script at the time — White Noise — which my associate then, Jennifer Robinson, and I read with interest. Unfortunately, we didn’t take it on. In communicating with Jay, he explained…
Collectively, we are dealing with the complexity as a result of the pandemic, the economy, and the violence and racism that exist in the US today.
We all have our struggles, but we also have a lot to be grateful for, and expressing gratitude and love is the most powerful thing each and every one of us can do to overcome the powerful challenges that we are currently faced with. Practicing as many alternative therapies as possible — meditation, relaxation, exercise, prayer, and cooking can assist us in reaching this state of gratitude. We’ve been forced to change our vocabulary…
It’s always an honor to work with a true professional, and I have been blessed to work with one such publishing wizard — Lou Aronica — for well over 20 years.
In my seasoned professional career, I have connected the literary dots with editors, authors, publishers, directors, screenwriters, other intellectual property (IP) developers, and even some fantastic chefs. Working with Lou Aronica has touched many of those IP categories and inspires me to conclude that my work with Lou affords me the right to call him a Renaissance Man. …
A lot of wonderful things have happened in my life, and oftentimes some of the most special events just appeared and weren’t necessarily planned. These events were either happenstance, serendipity, kismet, or just plain ole’ good luck. Do you believe in serendipity?
It started when I was a speech and theater major in college at what was then Monmouth College, which is now a University in Long Branch, NJ. Whilst in my senior year I applied for a job working for a contract packaging firm in Edison, New Jersey, called Packaging Plus. It was owned by an extraordinary man, Paul…
In reviewing relationships I’ve had with authors throughout my career, some of them stand out as being extraordinary, multitalented, and versatile talents. In the instance of Dr. Jean-Pierre Isbouts, not only is he an author and historian, as well as a doctoral professor in Human Development, but he’s also an accomplished filmmaker, screenwriter, director, and producer.
I was introduced to Jean-Pierre by another extraordinary visionary, Bernard Luskin, who had a brother working in business affairs at Disney that I had befriended. In my circle of contacts and friends, Bernard was involved with several other people I knew or had worked…
