Produktbeschreibung

There are No Grown-Ups is a collection of short stories about life in a small town. But this isn't just any town. This is Malton. Malton is where many of us grew up. A town that has nothing to say and nowhere to go and is where most of these stories originated.

"Danny was a dirty, tired, hungry boy of nine years. He knew how to hold his head and eyes just right when asking a passer-by for food or spare change. Danny knew a lot about staying alive on the streets of Manhattan, but knew nothing of any space race. How would he know?"... A Cause For Celebration

"The watch, a timepiece really, was a gift from the Board of Directors. Perhaps to make our level of authority clear, they gave him the timepiece for Christmas last year, while they gave us a ham. Since then, Ted led in everything that we did."... My Watch

"If we keep eating the apples at this rate, soon there will be none left." "Okay," the boy answered, biting into the apple."... The Bright Girl

Some of these stories were written years ago. Others were written recently. Enjoy.

Autorenporträt

To say that Kevin Mangold is well rounded is an understatement. Prior to racing thoroughbreds among the best professional jockey colony in the world, Kevin was an accomplished actor. He has appeared on Broadway, in television sitcoms, commercials, music videos, and in the critically acclaimed Oscar-winning theatrical release, "Seabiscuit."

Kevin has written a collection of short stories (There are No Grown-Ups) and three screenplays ("Conflict," "Putz" and "The Track," a script based on the world of horse racing.) His directorial debut was "The Apprentice Jockey," a documentary that describes from the point of view of four jockey hopefuls what it takes to become a professional race rider.

Those who know Kevin describe a subtle inner strength despite an unassuming physical presence. Throughout his life, he has been an overachiever, a leader and an individual of character and integrity. In high school, Kevin competed in the California State Wrestling Championships, studied acting and martial arts, and held a student body office every year, including student body president. Upon graduation, Mangold attended the USC film school in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program.

With a string of stage, television and film credits under his belt, Mangold put it all behind him and set his mind on becoming a professional thoroughbred jockey. He rode his first race at age 35 and soon graduated to the "big leagues" of horse racing, competing against the best jockeys in the world at prestigious Santa Anita Park and Hollywood Park. After recovering from several life-threatening spills, requiring numerous neck and back surgeries, Kevin briefly returned to racing. He has since chosen the "safer" world of stunts.

Today, founder of Dogpile Productions, Kevin is writing and producing as well as continuing to perform as an actor and stunt double in television shows and feature films. Says Kevin, "I have so many things in the works and I'm hopeful that they will all 'grow legs.'"
