I love reading a really good book and then seeing what a good film production can do with it.<br /><br />Welcome to Jungle Red!Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658027347346424733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-81782427595141289572011-06-13T10:31:01.004-04:002011-06-13T10:31:01.004-04:00OH,what a terrific interview!

They also have heart and compassion, which is so difficult to pull off.<br /><br />Dennis Lehane says he's so used to being mixed up with the other authors who write about Boston and bank robbers that he just accepts the credit now--someone said to him, oh, I loved the movie The Town. Eve though Chuck Hogan wrote it--Lehane says he just says thanks. He figures someone will tell Hogan they loved Shutter Island.<br /><br />You ever have that problem? (With Chicago authors, not with Dennis Lehane...)<br /><br />Anyway--so great to see you here. Applause applause from all of us at Jungle Red--we're HUGE fans!Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-6986513789134758622011-06-13T10:30:49.675-04:002011-06-13T10:30:49.675-04:00Marcus, Julia - terrific interview!

Misery does, indeed, love company<br /><br />Congrats on the new book, Marcus! Looking forward to reading it. BTW we're all members of the Lee Child fan club, too. He sets the bar high for generosity to his fellow human beings.Hallie Ephronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759439029582054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-22428699813891789422011-06-13T07:19:23.238-04:002011-06-13T07:19:23.238-04:00I would love to see a motel actually call itself T...I would love to see a motel actually call itself The Meth Lab Inn. <br /><br />Great interview! Marcus' website is a gem, BTW, especially if you are a new writer. His For Readers and Writers section gives practical and generous advice about writing and the business. <br /><br />And yeah, about the hair, LOL.Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627775403015684868noreply@blogger.com
