My parents began "Bell Hoppin'," a thrilling true crime manuscript about my grandfather Nathaniel Mitchell Sr.'s rise to power in the 1950s criminal underworld over 30 years ago. Join me in finishing their work by transforming their dream into an epic novel, collectibles, gems, an adult animated film, and more!
"Bell Hoppin'" isn't just a project; it's my dad's passion and a testament to resilience and determination.
Bell Hoppin' dives into the riveting firsthand account of my grandfather, Nathaniel Mitchell Sr., and his meteoric rise to power in Oklahoma's 1950s mafia. Picture this: a half-black, half-Irish ex-Navy sailor from Tennessee navigating a world filled with danger and desire. This gripping story tackles life's biggest challenges—from mafia hits and forbidden romances to the relentless pursuit of freedom and power.
Set in a tumultuous era, Bell Hoppin' showcases how courage can shine through, often in the most unexpected moments. It brings a fresh perspective on the importance of family, whether by blood or choice, and delves deep into themes of loyalty, hope, fearlessness, and passion.
