I read your book because my old book club chose it and I loved it. Taught me a lot. Have you thought it could be a mini-series for TV?
James Conroyd Martin
Hi, Maria, Sorry to be tardy is answering this. The trilogy would make a great mini-series. I do hope to get it in front of some entertainment people. The Boy Who Wanted Wings would make a fine film, too. Best to you!

James - Congrats on your great success with your Polish trilogy. I write to thank you for trailblazing this Polish fiction sub-genre and to wish you success with your latest novel. My Chopin trilogy attempts to do the same for espionage thrillers. How did it come to pass that your self-published novel was picked up by St. Martin's Press? Did you actively seek them out due to the Polish theme of the novel?

Holy smokes! I'm Polish, and I just finished "Push Not The River." You can sure write glorious plots and prose! Congrats! I'm on to the next part. It's like the Polish "Gone with the Wind"!! Thumbs up, Mr. Martin! Are you Polish and how did you research this gem?

James Conroyd Martin:
Having known nothing about Polish history, I picked up your book to learn about it and loved that it was based on the diary that was found. Also, as a Jew, I appreciated that you had a Jewish character and mentioned some of the history of how the Jews arrived in Poland. Are the other books of the trilogy also connected to the diary or is it your imagination combined with history?
