This is so incredible!! Very exciting 😀. Wishing you the best on these projects. And I remember when you got hit. Freaked me out a little. Amazing that The Sweet Spot came out of that experience.

Thanks Cris. A strange experience for certain, but I am glad it gave birth to this book and now a screenplay.

I'll watch the movie! On Netflix from our couch! How interesting, the stories of lives impacted by Viet Nam for so many years after.

Or you can come to the premier at the Greenfield Cinema. Ha!

Muy buena suerte! I can see it as a movie because the characters are so well defined and your dialogues always feel absolutely real.

Gracias. I am enjoying your travels!

So exciting, but daunting, I would think. Converting my novel into a screenplay would seem like an impossibility for me.

I recommend a program called Fade-In. It helps with the formatting. It is reasonably priced. I find it easier to do my own books because I channeled them. I actually import sections (remove quotation marks first) and work inside the program. I just took a peek at your book. I will put it on my to-read list.

Thank you for the tip. I’ll have to explore this.
