Lights, camera, action. Who will play you Captain?
The book has become a story in its own right – or should that be write? The iterations of it are now in the dozens and the rewrites have left a pile of outtakes that will be enough for a whole new book. But, something more interesting has happened. It has been out to a… Continue reading
