Reddit mentions of The Sorrows of an American: A Novel

Wow, good instincts, this is hilarious. They'll even bring a movie crew right to your home!

First, let's look at that sketchy book cover. It lists two quotes which claim to be "praise for LHH True Life Adventures", but are actually from other sources (surprise!). The quote from the Miami Herald appears to be for a novel called The Sorrows of an American, while the quote from Fox News looks like some random internet comment for the movie Unbroken. Furthermore, unless this dude works for Sony-Universal, he's not allowed to describe his story as a "James Bond/Harry Potter adventure story". He could say that it's like those franchises, but the wording here is copyright infringement at its finest. Finally, the cover was made with "Cover Creator", which is described as "a free online tool for building great-looking cover artwork for your book, CD or DVD". A self-described "millionaire playboy" can't use Photoshop to design his own book cover?

There's a video featuring "Actress in the movie" who makes the same crazy pitch. The same video appears in the "Video Gallery", along with several random youtube clips of natural disasters. For some reason.

This guy's bio reads like the plot of The Mosquito Coast, which makes me think this might not actually be a scam. It might just be a schizophrenic with a website and a big unstable dream. No matter what, though, it's not real. Even auteurs don't make movies by themselves.
