Tom Baldwin, the world renowned Great White Hunter (see Guinness Book Of World Records: Most flamingos shot in a single day using an elephant gun), under orders from his doctor, recently gave up gin and tonics as well as most other aspects of the dissipated lifestyle he’d been living in the fetid, steaming jungles of Equatorial Africa, and has now taken up the more languid pursuits of writing and wenching in the sunny climes of Cedar City, Utah.
Officially diagnosed: “Mad as March Hare” by the famous psychiatrist Dr. Sigismund Jung, who in conspiracy with Baldwin’s family, had him committed to the Flackfizer Sanitarium in Upstate New York in order to obtain control of his life savings, (reputed to total in the mid four figures), however, Baldwin promptly seduced Frau Blucher, his ward nurse, and she aided him in a harrowing late night escape from the institution and over the border into Utah where he is now safe due to that state’s lack of an involuntary commitment law.
Mad though he may be, when not chasing women or working on his next novel, Baldwin is busy marketing The Evening and The Morning, his current novel which he hopes to see made into a major motion picture. Interested movie executives and/or producers seeking an option or screen rights are invited to contact him at gonetoutah@yahoo.com.
