Learning to Dance in the Rain II

The manuscript for my second book is being proofed as I am writing this. The book is an encyclopedia describing the different types of scams which are currently cycling. You need to have one of these book placed near your phone and your computer to remind you not to get drawn into giving out your private information and/or buying something just because a stranger recommends it. Best advice, if you don’t recognize the number calling, don’t answer the call.

Recently this book has won ten book awards: Another Silver Award-Winner in the The Literary Titan Book Award. Others include the Chanticleer Book Award, and the Feathered Quill Book Award.

Good Day, Shelby! I hope you’re doing very well in these fascinating times! We received an endorsement of your published work and our firm, Hyperobject Industries, would like to review your material (Script/Screenplay) to see if we can collaborate on a film or TV/Movie series project based on your published material for this year – 2022.  Following a comprehensive evaluation, our Film and Production team strongly recommends your published work for a possible film/tv/movie series adaptation, which can be accomplished through a script in this scenario.  The screenplay you must submit must be in PDF format, written by an experienced and approved script writer, and submitted by January. If you do not have a script, we can recommend a reputable literary agency that can produce such material and meet the standards we maintain as well as the deadlines we set, as long as we have your permission to share your contact information and book title with them. Once your material has passed the final screening, you will be prepared to sign the contract.  Your remarkable work deserves a prominent place on the silver screen, where it can have a lasting impact on millions of viewers and readers from all walks of life. We’re looking forward to working with you on this project, and we can’t wait to see the finished product on film. — Adam McKay Founder and President of HyperObject Industries
