I'm Foghorn Leghorn & this here is my book of Wisdom son Now pay attention when I'm a talking to ya son You might learn something I say

For the first time anywhere, the collective thoughts and wisdom from one of the 20th century's greatest orators, Foghorn Leghorn. "The Wisdom of Foghorn Leghorn"  is an insightful book containing a comprehensive collection of Foghorn Leghorn's timeless maxims and inspirational aphorisms. His innovated wisdom is not only relevant but desperately needed for today's world. This is a treasure grove of deep thought from one of America's most beloved Roosters and Professor of  Higher Learning. While at Acme Loonervesity he taught Hound Teasing and coached the university's baseball team. It is Yogi Berra meets Voltaire!

In this entertaining book Foghorn Leghorn discusses questions that have plague man since the dawn of time such as, why did the chicken cross the road, are two birds in the bush is better than one in the hand, and what came first, the chicken or the egg?  He addresses topics from religion, politics, education, new age philosophy, Britney Spears, Baseball, Brad Pitt, Dancing with the Stars, Quantum Physics, and many more like:

The economy, "I got to say, that is, I do believe this economy is as fidgety as a turkey the day before Thanksgiving. I am a saying son, it looks like it's going to be cooked for sure this time. And has far has finding a job, I say you have a better chance of finding a ham sandwich at a church picnic, that is."

On  being prepared, in case of an emergency like total social collapse, " I say son, fortunately I say fortunately I keep an extra set of feathers on hand, just in case of such an event like this. You never know just how long that chain is on that old hound, sometimes he comes up and gets you when you're least expecting it."

 And for the first time anywhere, he comes clean with his thoughts on Colonel Sanders and Glen Beck. No one is safe when it comes to the wisdom of Foghorn Leghorn, not even Roger Goodell, { see, Foghorn is a Packers Fan}. " I say that Roger Goodell is so light headed that even Ricky Williams has to look up to him. That boy has got more vacant real estate in his head than Detroit. I say he must be a Hawk, a Seahawk that is"

Hi, My name is Dennis Waller. I am an author of 8 books dealing with subjects such as Indigos, the Wisdom of Epictetus, The Tao Te Ching, and in Zen with the works of the Hsin Hsin Ming. It only seems appropriate  on my journey of writing on wisdom and philosophy that the works of my favorite cartoon character and famed rooster, Foghorn Leghorn be included along the way.   

I am excited about this project and even more so to include the Kickstarter family in on it. Part of the rewards for backing this project is the opportunity to have your name in the book. Beginning with having your name mentioned in the acknowledgements, to having your name mentioned in one of the chapters by Foghorn Leghorn as a reference to someone wise,{which you are for backing this project} to even having the book dedicated to you for your support to the literary arts. This is an opportunity  to be part of the creation of a book that anyone would enjoy, from children to adults. It is going to be wonderful to have that connection with all of you that decide to part of this great project!

*** In addition to writing the book, I am going to produce a series of short videos of excerpts from the book. These videos will be posted on my Youtube channel as a way to give people an opportuntiy to see and hear some of the clever witty remarks from our dear friend, Foghorn Leghorn.***

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

As an author of 8 books, I am no stranger to the pitfalls of writing and publishing. I could write a book just on the work it takes to get a book completed and published. I created my own publishing company, Renovatio Publishing to overcome the issues that self-published authors experience. This is a project that I want to do, that I'm excited about and know will be met with success. It is also something that is for everyone since so much of my work has been specialized. This is a "fun" project for me and I want to share that fun with you.
The funds collected will be used to pay for designing an unique cover, for the editing of the text, and interior formatting. This book will be in two versions. One version will be made available on Amazon Kindle as an eBook. The other version will be a printed paperback book available through Amazon, Createspace and my website, www.areyouanindigo.com The finished book will be tastefully done and suitable for gift giving to those who are fans of our friend, Foghorn Leghorn. The printed paperback book will be 5.5inches by 8.5 inches containing approximately 120 pages. If funded, the eBook will be available to the backers within two weeks with the printed version being available by Thanksgiving 2012. Not a lot of time to get this done but very doable with your support!
If we are successful in raising more than the initial funds needed, additional funds will be used to create illustrations for the book. And if we really go crazy, a signed limited edition poster of the front cover will be made available. Details will become available has deemed necessary.
At this point of the project, I am at the rough draft stage. I'll be readying the manuscript so if funded, I can turn it over the creative folks for them to polish this book into the gem that it deserves to be. I'll keep you posted with events and details has they happen to keep you in the loop and part of the project.
