Media Alert: Film rights have been confirmed for The Destroyer

Forget The Bourne Trilogy. Forget Mission Impossible. Something much bigger is coming to a cinema near you soon!

Yesterday Sphere, an imprint of Little Brown and Co. kicked of their longest blog tour in history (47 days of reviews) for the first book, Created, The Destoyer in the The Destroyer series written by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir.

The Destoyer has garned a lot of postive news with the book alone and they have been adapted into TV series that unfortuantely didn't make it past the airing pilot but the comic book adaptatation by Marvel got a lot of positive news as well, the same counts for the audio books. Already back in 1985 movie rights and film scripts were written for a positive movie adaption but was never put into play, until just a few days ago. Actually, just yesterday ago.

Sony Pictures have made the The Destroyer movie a fact! Now there are a lot of directors that I would have liked to see make the movie and Sony Pictures has chosen Shane Black, who is known for none other that Iron Man 3 and if you have seen that movie it is going to be a blast!

In large lines this is where the The Destroyer series is about:

Remo Williams is a Newark cop framed for a crime and sentenced to death. His death is faked by the government so he can be trained as an assassin for CURE, a secret organization set up by President Kennedy to defend the country by working outside the bounds of the Constitution.

Author interview with John Gwynne

Author interview with John Gwynne Author Bio: I was born in Singapore while my dad was stationed there in the RAF. Up until he retired that meant a lot of traveling around, generally a move every three years or so. I live with my wife and four wonderful (and demanding) children in East Sussex. Also three dogs, two of which will chew anything that stands still. I have had many strange and wonderful jobs, including packing soap in a soap factory, waitering in a french restaurant in Canada, playing double bass in a rock n roll band, and lecturing at Brighton University. I stepped out of university work due to my daughter’s disability, so now I split my time caring for her and working from home - I work with my wife rejuvenating vintage furniture, which means fixing, lifting, carrying, painting and generally doing what my wife tells me to do... And somehow during this time I started writing. I’ve always told my children stories at bed-time, and they pestered long and hard for me to ...

Short Fiction Friday: Selfies

Selfies by Lavie Tidhar "Selfies", by Lavie Tidhar, is a creepy little horror tale about the fate of a young woman who makes the mistake of a lifetime when she buys a new phone in the local mall. It is only a few weeks back that I read a different but very interesting short story of Lavie Tidhar, Dragonkin . I found this story directly to my liking, the synopsis and build up of the story was unique and got me excited by it's less is more writing style. In the end this story for me had so much going on that I hope to see Lavie Tidhar exploring it even further. That aside, now its time for Selfies . I think I can now safely say that Lavie Tidhar is an author to watch out for, his stories will get you thinking and will scare you twice over. I have been thinking a lot of the current situation with always being connected on social media and the likes. It's unavoidable. One thing that is connected with all of this is of course your smartphone, yes no longer a cell...
