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.

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

Man in the woods short story

THE MAN IN THE WOODS The small town of Pembroke was a sleepy little hollow in the southern state of Virginia, population no more than 25ooo people. Surrounded by woods on three sides and old mine workings to the west of the town, it was one of those out of way places that you only see in those mystery or horror movies. A boom town in its day, full of Business on Main Street doing well and everyone was trying to make a buck. That all changed with the crash of 2008 its wooden shacks and shingled roofs fell into disrepair, the dwellings of most poor folks since the mines shut down and work became scarce, people had to scrape a living best they could.  The few businesses that remained on main street where few and limited but they kept the heart of the town alive, barely scraping by themselves, but if folk needed food and couldn’t afford it Mr. Laker the General store owner let folks get what they needed on the tab. He was just that kind of a guy like most folks of Pembroke, They
