This blog is created for the followers of Brian John's Angel Mountain Saga of eight novels, dealing with the life and times of a very imperfect heroine, Mistress Martha Morgan of Plas Ingli. She lived at about the same time as Jane Austen but struggled to survive in a very different world. Total sales for the series are now over 110,000, making this the best-selling fiction series ever published in Wales.

Novel adaptations -- it's tough out there....
Two interesting articles on high-end TV drama and the adaptation of novels for the small screen. There are huge opportunities out there, but the market place is crowded, and nine out of ten projects just fall by the wayside.

But one has to believe -- and if a project is good enough, it will rise to the top of the pile and get turned into a blockbuster. Game of Thrones is dead -- long live "On Angel Mountain"!
By the way, in my humble opinion "Victoria" was brilliant and "Vanity Fair" was so bad that we only watched one episode. How come that they both got made and occupied rather a lot of screen time?
