Thomas (tom471) | 1333 comments I usually don't post about politics, but since the subject is opened up, here goes. I am in the US, so my opinion doesn't mean much. But I would abolish the monarchy. It is the ultimate in inequality. See

I only watched part of the interview. How many of you know that Queen Charlotte, wife of George III and grandmother to Queen Victoria had black ancestors?

I haven't watched it. Some family members have and liked it.

Yea.. Me too... I have been experiencing reading slump lately... I started 20 books and couldn't finish any of them.. I find it helpful to watch T.V. and then go back into reading...

message 10928: by Jeffrey (new)

Jeffrey Marshall (jmarsh17) | 57 comments I've been approached by a film production company that has been giving me a pretty hard sales pitch about turning my thriller into a movie. Great - except they want me to put up close to $5K as part of the deal (supposedly, just 15% of the costs). Isn't this just a scam? Does anyone have any experience with this kind of pitch??

Sean Peters | 10534 comments Mod
Sounds like a scam !


message 10930: by sonya (new)

sonya marie madden  | 369 comments I found out about page publishing and did a little research. They wanted three grand to publish and they make spelling errors in the final copy. No thanks.

Hi Jeffrey,
I have no experience or knowledge with such offers but the very least I'd do is a lot of research about this company. Every author dreams of seeing their books on a screen, which makes it easy for scammers to take advantage of such dreams. I don't think I could trust such offer but again, do your research and be extra careful.

I hope you regular members will help me out, it is important that as many members as possible ask questions for Peter James, you can add questions now.

Here is online June 10th.

He is giving one hour of his time.

This has taken over 20 e-mails backwards and forwards to get this arranged with agents, managers, publishers, and more.

It is on the authors section.

thanks

I have been off work for four weeks, lucky I enjoy watching the tennis and gardening and walking.

But struggling with vertigo/sickness/dizziness and inner ear balance problems.

Try to come on line but do not stay on the computer too much.

Try to read, lucky weather has been good(except last 3 days).

Had MRI scan yesterday. Work not happy!
