*I’ve posted this a few times before and actually gotten some amazing interviews for the project. Thank you so much to those of you who have helped me out. I’m still looking for more material so I can start pitching this to publishers or magazines:

Attention gumshoes,

i’ve been developing a nonfiction book for a few months now on former Colt models. i would like to go beyond my own speculation and let these men tell their own stories.

 

i am looking for ANYone: the big, iconic names (your jake tanners, your rex morgans) down to someone who just posed once. i am focusing on the company before it changed hands from jim french and colt men started looking like everyone else.

 

i have tracked down about a dozen of these men so far, but finding them is no simple task. many of them are long dead. many of them are rumored dead. many of them have simply left their alter egos behind them; started new lives with new wives and real names.

 

i am already finding out that a lot of these men will not want to talk. i am actually most intrigued by the men with complicated relationships with their former selves (granted, an inconvenient obsession). i can guarantee complete anonymity, if necessary. but my intention is not to compromise what is at stake for these guys now. i’d really just love to hear their story.

 

some of you may know these men personally. you may have seen them in a bar or the grocery store. ANY tips you can provide on whether these guys are even still alive would be INCREDIBLY helpful to me. 

REBLOG THIS. feel free to message me here or email me at dionnewarlock@yahoo.com
