The people who have read my books frequently tell me that any one of them would make a good movie. I agree. In fact, I “watched” The Ice and the Stars before I wrote it. I have also walked the imagined terraces and orchards described in Pathogen, and I can see and hear the infamous chamber in Instrument. I write from visuals. Every conversation takes place in a place — not a real place necessarily. A few readers have even emailed casting suggestions for some of the characters. I have enjoyed that very much
Maybe someday the right person will read one of the books and decide to put it on the screen. To that individual I would like to say, “Hurry up! I’m not getting any younger.”
