Kindle Experiment: Changing the name of The Hunchback Assignments series
I recently changed the name of my THE HUNCHBACK ASSIGNMENTS series to MODO: STEAMPUNK AGENT. Why would I do that since the series has had that title (in English speaking countries) since 2009? Well...
Nose to the grindstone...
Well, that's the plan this week.
Tune in next week when you hear the author say...that didn't quite go as planned.
Flickers: The Cover is Here...
Flickers
Psst. Come closer. I've got something to show you. Something very scary. Just a little bit closer. Closer...
Yep...it's the cover for my eighteenth novel: Flickers. A happy little story about twin girls who travel from innocent Alberta to join the glitzy world of Hollywood in the 1920's. One of them becomes a superstar and the other is not allowed to leave the estate of their guardian, Mr. Cecil. He's a Hollywood producer and director who has some rather nefarious plans for his next movie. Plans that one of the twins is starting to see through...
Wait, didn't I say it was a happy story? Well, it's happy for Mr. Cecil.
And here's the full dust jacket (click on it if you want to see it full size):

And finally, I do have a book page. And on the book page is a special gift for those who order early. And often.
Anyway, that's the cover, folks! Have a good sleep...

Casting the Modo Movie
With the news of a Modo movie in the works I thought it'd be fun if you and I played casting director. But I will readily admit that I'm ancient and don't know any of the young actors these days. So feel free to add your choices to the comments section and I'll throw them in the mix. MODO
First off there's Modo. Here he is from a few of the covers:
Since he's always wearing a mask or shape-changing (his special ability) he could be any actor. He should be around sixteen years old and exude youth, strength and social awkwardness.

Yes, I know, Nathan Fillion isn't sixteen years old. But Modo does change his shape and so could look like him. And, well, any movie with Nathan Fillion is a good one.
Octavia Milkweed
The mad doctor who likes to make metal-plated dogs, powerful elixirs, and giant mechanized war machines. This would be an over-the-top fun role.

Mr. Socrates
The mastermind behind the Permanent Association. An aging intellectual and adventurer. British to the core.

I've only seen The Great Gatsby. But after reading their bios...I must watch more.
Miss Hakkandottir
Okay. Officially the funnest role in the show. One metal arm. One mean sociopathic streak. No remorse. No surrender. Oh, and did I mention ruthless?

There! That's what I've come up with. Any suggestions?
