Every so often one gets an accolade out of the blue. Today I have received a very unexpected, but extremely welcome one on a blog titled Save The British Film Industry. Entitled "Three Cheers for Patrick Gray Cox," the author calls for my Harry Heron books to be considered for conversion to films. I'm stunned, but delighted. I'd love to see Harry come to the big screen, just as I'd love to see my books produced by RandomHouse or Harper Collins, Gollanz, Corgi, Pan or Bloomsbury ...
A number of people who have read the books have told me how 'visual' my writing is and how much they'd like to see these stories turned into a movie or a television series, so this comes as confirmation of that view. To me it is all the more startling because the author of this article and owner of the blog is a 'movie insider' who is passionate about the British Film industry and what it is capable of producing.
I'm not going to hold my breath, but I'm immensely encouraged, I'm flattered and I shall now renew my efforts to get these stories 'out there' and up the charts!
