This is so cool! Question: is it true you were first approached about TV/film rights by an exec who saw your contact info in the front matter of a Fat Vampire book? If so, note to indies to include some sort of “for media rights inquiries, contact...”
Sort of. I don't know if anything specifically inside the book told him how to contact me; I just know that an exec was getting on a plane, found the book, and liked it enough to contact me. I think it's pretty easy to find an author even without direct contact information provided, so he could have found me any way. I'm not sure which way it was. The more complete story (including that bit) is in this article (which I wrote before the one you just read): https://www.johnnybtruant.com/p/fat-vampire-to-reginald-the-vampire
