Heartbreak and Vine I've never subscribed to the argument of 'what they did to my work', because movies are not art. Movies are entertainment. They're a medium that requires lots of people and lots of money. Writing a novel is pure art. It's like sculpture or painting. But movies are something else. They're a technological invention. So it's a business. It's nice if they can take your book, which is art, and turn it into some form of entertainment, from which you can make a lot of money. What changes writers is the money. Because there are about twenty writers who make a million dollars a book, and after that the list gets short. The money alters people and causes the problems. It alters the way you look at things. |
THE SENTINEL The Sentinel, a shattering novel of cover-ups and conscience in the highest echelons of power, will be available now from Berkley Publishing. A White House Secret Service agent specializing in electronic surveillance has been blown away by a masked gunman. The Aryan Clan, a neo-Nazi group, has taken credit. Secret Service Special Agent Pete Garrison fears it's more than a warning shot delivered by extremists. His first lead is an informant who claims that the Aryans have positioned one of their own in the White House. But it's the second lead that carries the most shattering implications - a blackmailer who knows of Garrison's love affair with the First Lady. He has the photos to prove it…evidence that would frame Garrison with the perfect motive for murder. Garrison's last option: infiltrate the President's most powerful circles of defense…and outguess the killer's next move. |
