Greetings
From Publishing Central
As
one of the few - perhaps the only - published author
to avail himself of web technology in all formats and
configurations from eBooks, print-on-demand
and traditional publishing, I thought it
appropriate to keep you apprised of what is
essentially an author’s medium and how this author
is using it. We hope you enjoy it.

 Selling
Books to the Movies and Television
The
Fiona Fiasco!
My
latest Hollywood war story concerns the licensing of my
mystery character, Fiona
FitzGerald, the heroine of my six
mystery books, to Lifetime Television for a potential
one-hour series.
Tottering
between hope and reluctance, I allowed my agent to proceed
with the deal. I was partnered with a producer who was
supposed to shepherd the development through the network
minefield leading to a pilot from which the network would
judge whether to move forward to a regular series.
As
always, I assumed that as the creator of the
material, my input would be solicited and respected as the
project moved forward. It is, of course, a weakness in my
character to be addicted with such a delusion since I know
from bitter experience that once my work falls into the hands
of the Hollywood crowd it disappears into a mist of creative
confusion and imaginative paralysis.
Fiona's
character and the geography of her world was so clearly
defined in my six books that I could not remotely
contemplate any but the most minor changes.
Alas,
it was not be. No sooner had I granted the license than I was
exiled to oblivion...
