Manipulation of novels

Manipulation…..

Another question. “Would I allow manipulation of the books?”

“What do you mean by manipulation?” I asked.

“Would you allow a producer/ director to manipulate your books?”
“Of course” I said.

Peter Hawthorn Belfast Bound is going to be estimated at 10.2 hours in length in audio, can you imagine if a director turned my books into a movie how long each movie would be if he used every scene and every word in the novel.
Most movies are made by adaptation from a book or a script and have to be refined to fit a certain length in minutes / hours. The average movie length is 1.30 hours to a max of 4 hours unless it’s a series so YES I would allow manipulation of the books as long as the story-line is still there.


I’m not a director or a screenwriter like I said and I’m certainly no movie professional so I would leave that side of it to the professionals after all they know what they are doing.

Authors notes Book 3

PETER HAWTHORN KUWAIT: IN TO THE FIRES OF HELL Authors Notes Peter Hawthorn and his men had been baptized in fire in Northern Ireland; this gave them the strength when they faced an adversary in Alaska.

Peter and his men grew into professional soldiers; battle hardened becoming men of a club only those who have seen action could understand. The horrors never left them and the lost friends never forgotten. Nightmares had waned and begun to subside. Peter married Mary and took Kenzie as his own flesh and blood, a step daughter he could never replace nor love any less even after Peter junior was born, his love for his family was total dedication as a husban...

Mankind intelligent or dumbest animal on the planet?

Humankind by our own standards;we are intelligent resourceful and adaptable but are we really? I was just reading an article on MSN about global warming and frankly it is scary to think we could become extinct through our own endeavors. We like to think that evolution has given us the intelligence and tools to thrive in this world but in reality we are as fragile as the natural world around us. We like to think like the fictional series of Star trek that mankind can come together as one learning together to better the race as a whole... but in reality we are far from such a bonding. The scientist say we have until 2030 to begin to turn things around after that it will be more difficult or worse too late. Species of this planet already on the verge of extinction will be gone and other species will follow. By 2100 most if not all species of insect will be extinct which will definitely lead to our own extinction, Why? Insects are the key element and vital to plants around the wor...
