This Christmas morning, here in New Zealand where I live and work, I signed a 2 yr film option for my dolphin novel "Ripple". It is for a feature length animated film. This is a first for me. What happens now?

I live in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand. Spring is coming at this end of the world so I am spending more time out in my kayak or in friends' sailing boats in our Heavenly marine environment. I live for the marine beings who inhabit the beautiful ocean that laps at our local shores. I write ficti...

Pleased to meet you here. I love India.

Hi Marty - nice to meet you here.

Marty Chartrand

All the best,

I wouldn't dream of asking you to read my book but maybe I could ask you to look at it on Amazon and s...

Hi Tui, sounds like a great book, and my sympathies for your agent, sounds like he really believed in the project. I may be able to help. I'll send you a private message and we can discuss the project more.
