Showing off

Well, then. Ian Thornton's only gone and got an agent. And not any booooring book agent either. He's gone straight to Hollywood, got himself an agent out there, and she's hawking both the book (to New York) and the concept (to all her rich buddies, like Spielberg and Cruise and probably Obama and people too).

Congratulations to Ian - he had a splendid concept (which I won't reveal here) and lashings of talent. That talent had been occluded by a rather overwrought treatment, but just 70,000 words of pruning later, he's obviously hit the jackpot. Monster congratulations all round. Paul Toth and my good self were the original commentators.

Fortune favours the brave - how fabulous!

Do you need to have a fake tan to approach Hollywood agents?
