Well back to a positive note I got an email from GFM and there was a corrected message and everything is fine. You guys might want to check out GFM and read Thor’s latest update he fixed it where it cut off it was just a technical issue . There is no problem with the book or anything for that matter. Good energy ahead anyone thinking about a purchase don’t let this negative posting detour you it has nothing to do with Thor or Lee they would be pissed and ashamed focus on the book and positive energy and no Luna behavior lol! It’s gonna be great!!!! Empower yourself with infinity!

This is definitely an inordinate amount of time. The book is not Tolstoy’s ”War and Peace” for God’s sake.
It's especially bad since they've been holding onto $9000 of other people’s money.
People forget that they PROMISED to have this out a YEAR ago, and this quest had been ongoing since 2017, THREE YEARS.

Getting a publisher took the longest.
That was the bit. Once secured. Write, rewrite, arrangements etc. I'm actually happy they've done their own keen oversight of it. It may reflect in the outcome.

I'm a bit familiar with the writing/publishing business and it can take quite a while. Patience and hard work are virtues. :)

For Christ sakes yes anyone that writes a book is gonna sell their books. They have a right to do that if they please. As far as receiving a gift of money Freddie was rich a rock star that’s what rich people do with their money. He was always buying perfume presents something and expecting his friends to take his tokens of kindness with no questions. It was just another one of his loving gifts that’s all. You can’t take your money with you and he’ll at least that’s a 10000 Mary didn’t get but no one seems to say a word about that.

The book will be here when it’s here they want it right. Covid is slowing everything down.They are doing the best they can do. They have written it. It’s out of their hands now.

Yes, it can take quite a while until you are ready to publish. However, by the time you are ready to publish, things go quite swiftly.
Colour corrections / enhancements ( " better colors" in Thors' words), last minute edits are expected and do not take 9 weeks to correct, Covid 19 back or forth.
If you have your act together, and are prepared , your retoucher is with you to make sure there's no interruption or waste of time. Time is money. Printing is an automized process where you don't need hundreds' of people around social distancing from each other.
Thor & Lee are one party among many others publishing at this time... and there's huge differences if you have a look at kickstarter, indiegogo etc.
Now, before you call me a " hater ": Thor was fascinating when he first showed up on this forum. So was Lee who emerged later on. Sort of the first 50 pages. However, by the time the fake LGBT advocates coaxed him to change his story... it became pathetic. By the time " Villiers" ( alledgedly a self acclaimed attorney, HIV adviser who is active in the Houston LGBT community, in real life good buddies with straight FM porn fiction writer= Captain Jory/ c.jory= Renata Caffarelli from London ) attempted to get Queen's PR person to believe that Thor had been working for " more than 10 years" on this project and he should be promoted on Queens' FB fan community site....somehow the story became " weird". Obviously Queen on FB never promoted the project, the reply to " Villiers " was along the lines : if Thor really was so keen on publishing his long term project, how come he didn't do an e- book ages ago if he was so keen on publishing ? Why would he publish a book right before Bohemian Rhapsody was released ?
Fast forward post BR period : what other unknown authors raise within 4-5 weeks, Thor has barely managed to raise in 3 years.
Before I will be dismissed as a troll or hater... I am not ! However, a forum, where everyone who woawoawoa or a sycophant is just pathetic.

Lilmal, I personally am not a fan of villers I think what she does on Instagram is disgusting. However, I think Thor and Lee can’t be held guilty for her stupid nonsense or what she promised she could do. She may be what you call a glory hound and tries to convince people she can do more than she actually can I don’t know about that one. The one thing I thought she did that helped them was the utube live it was pretty impressive and nice to here from them. It helped to put faces with their stories memories and history.I won’t shame Thor or betray him as I can never do that or Lee either that’s his dear friend.I think they are doing fine writing a book is no cake walk. They are good!!!!

Before we judge them so harshly we probably need facts none of us know anything really I’m just glad they told me the truth that Freddie was gay and I don’t need a book to confirm that . I take their word for it.
CHEVYMAN · Member since
Thor never claimed to be keen on publishing a book. I don’t recall that . This is all I’m gonna say on this I’m gonna put a zip tie on .

For Christ’s sake, they shouldn’t be writing a book at all. They have a right to do it, doesn’t mean it’s RIGHT.
Thor LITERALLY stalked Freddie after their first (unsuccessful) night. Creepy from the beginning. Sadly Freddie had a habit of being attracted to assholes.
It’s one thing to receive a gift, it’s another thing to take money from a sick man.
Decent people don’t take money from a sick man to party. I don’t care how much Freddie insisted. If it were me, I would leave the money when I left.
Mary actually WORKED for what she got from Freddie as opposed to Thor who STALKED Freddie when Freddie had left him as just another one night stand.
Mary didn't "live" on Freddie’s money she was effectively the COO/CFO of Freddie's companies. She did everything for Freddie and, unlike Hutton, didn't betray Freddie. .
This what Freddie said about how much she did for him:
Freddie Mercury 1985:
"She [Mary] works in my organisation and looks after my money side and all my possessions. She's in charge of the chauffeurs. maids. gardeners. accountants and lawyers. All l have to do is throw my carcass around on stage...
***We look after each other and that's a wonderful form of love. I might have all the problems in the world, but I have Mary and that gets me through.***
***If I dropped down dead tomorrow. Mary's the one person I know who could cope with my vast wealth. "
David Evans: (Freddie and Phoebe’s friend)
.
“I should now introduce Mary Austin,...She quite simply adored Freddie and they began a relationship and started a home, finally at 100 Holland Road in Kensington. At home in Holland Road, it was definitely Mary who was the breadwinner. Theirs was a mutual loyalty and though their affair was not to be life-long, their deep, loving friendship was to last without question.
[I]“Freddie never had much idea of money. Mary always took care of that. Always. Indeed as late as 1991, he confided to me that he was very worried about running short of money as his medical treatments appeared prohibitively expensive. I assured him that even without studying his bank balances, he had absolutely no need to be concerned and that Mary would have told him if he was at all a candidate for penury." - David Evans
So maybe the reason people like you Ms. Foster, don’t mention what Mary got is because most sensible people understand that she was more than an unsuccessful one night stand who only visited Freddie twice in London.
In all likelihood, Thor got to live off Freddie in New York, always paid for their partying and Thor never did a damn thing for Freddie other than, odds are having introduced Freddie to the man who gave him AIDS.

So Thor wrote the book because “his fans made him do it”? Or was it like Jake and Elwood Blues and they think they’re on a mission from God?
They LITERALLY talked about how they wanted to get the book out before the movie to minimize profits.
