    Hi.
    In your opinion how easy/hard/impossible would it be for an author to adapt their book into a screen play?

    That is one casual Avatar, and a more ecclectic selection of writers than most in this community. Welcome.

    I agree, Jeff. The crime writers I've met have all been very helpful and supportive. I wouldn't say that about some of the editors and agents I've met, however.

    Jeff, if you get a chance, please look at the video trailer for Just North of Luck and let me know if you find it as compelling as the cover. All feedback is appreciated.

    Hi Jeff
    Michael Connelly has made many of the author lists on this site. He's an inspiration to the trade.
    Good luck with your writing.

    Hi Jeff. I'm glad you're enjoying my blog. We must have been in North Carolina at the same time. The Outer Banks is a favorite spot of mine.

    Hi Jeff, thanks for the invite. Do you teach at Carleton? I stayed there when I was on a field trip for grade 8 graduation, which feels like a lifetime ago! Always liked Ottawa.
