So, I elbowed the loved ones.

:04:19

I left some tapes here for transcription.
The name is King.

:04:24

- In English?
- Preferably.

:04:27

Please, you wait.

:04:39

The writer's life
would be ideal but for the writing.

:04:42

That was a problem I had to overcome.

:04:44

Then, I read in the Guinness Book of Records
about Earl Stanley Gardner,

:04:48

the world's fastest novelist,
who dictates up to 10,000 words a day.

:04:53

That was for me. None of that
romantic stuff with a typewriter.

:04:57

I had better uses for those two particular fingers.

:05:08

My full name is Chester Thomas King.

:05:10

Although most people call me Mickey
for reasons I won't go into.

:05:15

You may have read some of my early works.

:05:18

But my publisher didn't see Chester Thomas
King as the name of a best-selling author.

:05:23

He preferred such authors as
Guy Strange, Gary Rough,

:05:27

Dan Wild and Les Behan.

:05:30

I was all those and others. I was
co-authors Susan Eager and Paul S. Cumming.

:05:35

The newly discovered Indian writer,
Doctor O.R. Gann, spelt with two N's,

:05:39

and the struggling Nigerian author,
S. Odomy, with the emphasis on the "O".

:05:45

None of them exactly made
Book of the Month Club.

:05:51

- Mr King?
- Yes.

:05:55

Could I have a word with you?

:05:58

Yes.
