Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 11/25 - Now Playing

My rom-com screenplay, A Truth Universally Acknowledged, is now live at Amazon, Kindle only, $1. I purchased a copy and scanned it. As expected, the formatting is not perfect. Stray sentences do not fill the margin, but it is still eminently readable. I assume the errors occur because I work from the 1997 version of Word, although I’ve heard other writers air their frustration about the uploading process. I went back and checked the file to make sure it hadn’t skewed on its own, which for some bizarre reason happens occasionally, and it was fine, so I doubt re-submitting would change anything. If you’re looking for a fun read, check it out:  http://tinyurl.com/kny5llp One does not need a Kindle to read it. The program can be downloaded to any PC.

In last night’s episode of The Mentalist, Patrick Jane appeared to have finally gotten his revenge against serial killer Red John, who murdered his wife and child. I suspect it’s a red herring. That, or the series is coming to an end, although I've heard nothing about it being axed. How many episodes can they glean from Jane on the run? And I still suspect one of the regular detective crew will turn out to be a traitor. I sense it’s Rigsby, although it has been disguised well, that is, if it turns out to be the case at all. This season's episodes have all concentrated on the main story line. They are grim but compelling, unlike the others, which are cheerful fun.

It was about 30 degrees when I opened the floating book shop. Fortunately, the wind was negligible and the sun was unblocked. I sold eight books, six in Russian. Thanks, folks, and also to lovely Maddy, who works for a local lawyer and who bought me a hot chocolate today. I felt compelled to get out there, given the gloomy forecast and the holiday Thursday. I've been keeping one or two steps ahead of the ATM the past two weeks. I haven't made a withdrawal since 9/7. I am blessed.
