TBT, adapting a novel for the screen
Remembering the screen adaptation I did of an action comedy novel by Jennifer Lawler...
The main characters in this enduring ensemble story are star-crossed lovers who also happen to be mercenaries — and 17th century English scholars. Think the good-humored violence of RED with a younger group.
The Mercenary's Tale, screen adaptation of the novel Not Quite a Hero. We spent two years (1990-2) adapting the story to the screen format.
Here's what a 379 page 20 year old manuscript looks like. After I read the funny, classic love story for the first time in 1987/88 I couldn't forget it...
Always looking for an illustrator to convert the script into a graphic novel for iPad, btw.
We rewrite the screenplay every now and again. It's renamed COY MISTRESS. And Jennifer found a place for those Greek sailors she loves so much!

Thanks, Elif! (She also wrote the forward to it, back in 2005. We connected early -- as sisters in Turkish culture, and Western culture through it, and fellow writers and speakers.)
