Ray Palen asked Samantha Silva:

Will there be a big or small screen adaptation of your novel?

Samantha Silva Well, that's a long story in itself. Mr. Dickens started as a screenplay some years ago. I optioned it four times to four different companies and had some heartbreaking near misses with the big screen. That's when I decided to adapt it as a novel. There's another film on the same subject (adapted from a non-fiction book) that comes out soon. But it's the true story, and not at all like mine. So there's always hope! Thanks for reading it.
