Wouldn't it be fun to see Russell Quant with his own tv series - or a movie - or anything on the screen....any possibilities of this happening?

Hi Nada,
Indeed it would be. And not so far out of the realm of possibility.
The series has a long history with this. The series has twice been optioned for TV/Movie development. There have been a number of interesting projects developed, even going as far as casting discussions. I know very little about the TV/Movie business except what I've learned through this process. Things tend to happen at the speed of light or glacially slow (from the author's perspective). The reality is that for the books that are fortunate enough to be optioned, most never move to development. In the meantime it is a quite exciting prospect and I've had the opportunity to be in some very interesting meetings.
I take heart in that, pretty much since book 4 or 5, there has been constant interest in turning the Quant books into a visual medium of some kind. As with many things, it would take the meeting of the right people at the right time on the right project. I never say never. Magic can happen. Thanks for thinking so too!

Do you really see small towns as you portray Beautiful? From growing up in one, I saw that anyone who was different was shunned, gossip - YES, and 3 generation feuds over a stolen (by listening in on the 22 party-line telephone) cake recipe just before the annual Strawberry Social.
