I came to meet the production company from Dublin who want to turn Hybrids into a tv series (hush, don't tell anyone yet, the contract isn't signed) - who never showed - by the time HarperCollins emailed me I was on the train. Still, went down the pub with HarperCollins' very nice rights lady Mel, so it wasn't all wasted. Next time they can come on the ferry to Holyhead and I'll meet them in Wales!DavidKThorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04215770376688861114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-42251375248241614212010-04-21T09:50:30.098+01:002010-04-21T09:50:30.098+01:00Excellent idea.
