Due to circumstances beyond our control and
with the deepest regret, we are letting the dream of seeing GREEN DARKNESS made
into a movie go.
It was our intent to stay with it for the long haul, but that
has become impossible.
To all the fans, we say adieu and thanks for
hanging in with us.
We fear the project may never come to pass.
Farewell to all~~

At the heart of GREEN DARKNESS are several controversial topics -- reincarnation being one in the mix.
Angela and I would like to share some thoughts with you. Marla’s Musings: Like the Buddhists, I believe reincarnation happens. Maybe my beliefs are not so deep as those of the monks, however I can't help but think, nay believe, that our spirits are on a learning journey Angela and Marlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13008583622107585923noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486777762089645546.post-89165845556869989112014-04-03T00:38:00.000-04:002014-04-03T00:38:14.918-04:00How to Market a Screenplay
Our readers have often asked when the GREEN DARKNESS movie is coming to their local movie theater.
Oh, if only it was as 'easy' a process as step 1. option the book's screenplay rights. step 2. write the script... step 4. make the film.
What is missing in that formula is step 3 -- marketing the script to a producer or producers who will champion our script through the financing phase and Angela and Marlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13008583622107585923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486777762089645546.post-1675906674445476362014-03-27T00:18:00.000-04:002014-08-18T00:14:00.427-04:00Naworth Castle - its private and public sides<!--[if gte mso 9]>

Just as GREEN DARKNESS searches for answers to present questions in the past, I am also looking into my own past to discover how I got here.
Did it start when I first read the book, or when I wanted to find out whether it had been made into a movie? I'm not sure.

Recently, we were thrilled to hear that one of
our blog followers had found a mention of GREEN DARKNESS in a book she was
reading! The book was THE UNFINISHED GARDEN by Barbara Claypole White. A

Our curiosity was tickled, so we contacted Barbara White and she confirmed that

I am constantly amazed at how much stranger

As writers we try to pay extra attention to
the world around us, hoping to find that next wonderful idea that will be "the

As the title suggests, our

But that doesn't mean there's a lack
