My film agent wants me to put together a treatment. It’s proving to be quite the challenge . . .

Or does somebody just want you to write it up so they can submit it to Hollywood for consideration?

Indeed, the footprints add to the sinister feel of the image. Love Fargo, by the way.

The picture also suggests a lot more of the book’s contents.

I want to be able to focus, too. However, one cocktail relaxes me to the point where I am able to shut out the day’s events.

But that’s one of the reasons I prefer writing at 4am–my mind is relatively stress-free because it’s the start of the day and I haven’t been clobbered yet by life.

I think the British cover is certainly an attention-grabber and does a great job conveying key elements of the story.

I’m blown away by the design; really couldn’t be any happier with it!
