The big news this past week is that my second novel, SHADOW WATCHER (2007) is now available on Kindle...for only $5.00.

It's amazing how quickly this all came together. After the success I've had with my screenplays and stage plays on Kindle, I'd been after my publisher at The Center Press to make my books with them available in both the e-book and audio formats. Early last week, they finally agreed...with the proviso that I handle the logistics of the adaptations, which I readily agreed to do.
SHADOW WATCHER was easy to transfer to Kindle. I still had the original electronic file on my computer, so it only took a few minutes to upload and have it transferred to the e-book format. I spent 2-3 hours creating a book trailer, and that was that.
If all goes well, this coming week I will contract with a narrator/producer to do an audio book version. [I am also about to contract with a narrator/producer for my Orson Welles play.]
My other 3 books with The Center Press are a it more problematic. Certainly THE ART OF STORYTELLING is not right for either an e-book or an audio book. The original screenplay for CHEYENNE WARRIOR would make a good Kindle, but not an audio book, but my first novel, NOBODY DROWNS IN MINERAL LAKE would be perfect for both formats.
The issue with all three of these books is that they were written so long ago (late 1990s) that neither I nor The Center Press know the exact location of the electronic files, so it might be awhile until any of them can be made available in either format.
I will keep you informed.
Incidentally, I also started writing my new stage play this past week. When I finish the first draft, I will reveal the subject matter.
Finally, there are two new reviews on the Best Bets on DVD site, which you can access by clicking on the link in the Introduction section of this page. They are LAKE EFFECTS with Jane Seymour and A SEPARATION, the Iranian film that won the Best Foreign Language Oscar this year. So, take a look.
You have a creative week.
Michael
