Screenplay Update!

Dear Al: As we promised back in the beginning, we would be providing updates on the screenplay. The screenwriter, Clayton Emery, has just informed us we can announce that he has the screenplay at two different studios, and that he’s got some other irons in the fire. Clayton will be answering questions regarding the screenplay and its status on the fan club. Oh, and the novel he chose to adapt for the screen? PEOPLE OF THE MIST!

SOUTHEASTERN LITERARY TOURISM

Dear All: We just saw the most fascinating piece done on PEOPLE OF THE WEEPING EYE, PEOPLE OF THE THUNDER, A SEARING WIND and PEOPLE OF THE MORNING STAR. Patrick Brian Miller, a superb author in his own right, is the brilliant director of the: We’ve been working with him for a little over a month now. Patrick’s quest is to enable the reader to visit, in person or on the web, those actual places used in fiction. We’re honored and delighted that he used our novels as the first links to actual archaeologicals sites in Alabama, Tennessee, and Illinois. We’re hoping that our publishers will add the links to our ebooks as well. Literary tourism creates an added value to the reading experience. It shouts, “Hey, guys! It’s real. And you can visit the same locations as the characters inhabit.” As authors, we get to live the experience first hand, for instance, climbing the steps of Monk’s Mound in Cahokia with Matron Heron, as you’ll eventually read in PEOPLE OF THE MORNING STAR. Through Patrick’s efforts, all of our readers will now share in the magic.
