Sterling Gate Books’ mystery-drama tale ANNO 2020, now a contentious feature film as well as a published novel, is New Zealand-Australian writer-director James Morcan’s latest book-to-film project.

A screenwriter and novelist, James adapted the ANNO 2020 screenplay from his novel; after sellout cinema screenings in three Australian states, the resulting feature film is now poised to celebrate its global streaming premiere on YouTube and other streaming platforms.

Readers are resonating with ANNO 2020 the novel as a visit to its Amazon pages show. Billed as “A global kaleidoscope of interconnected characters seeking redemption, answers and justice amidst the chaos of Anno MMXX (Year 2020),” it’s gathering stellar reviews and currently enjoys a 4.5 out of 5 stars review rating.

James Morcan’s latest novel now available via Amazon as a paperback, hardcover and Kindle ebook.

U.S. arts aficionado Grady Harp writes, “Incorporating his skills developed in the cinematic field, both in acting and in screenwriting, James has created a global panoply of beautifully defined stances and characters to bring attention to the manner in which we all coped with the pandemic. His richly colorful locales include, Bali, Palestine, Brazil, Israel, Australia, China, the UK, USA, and Switzerland, and in each scene he has developed a myriad of personalities to offer as many perceptions of the pandemic and its effect on relationships as possible.”
