Holy Buck, Fatman! My novella Insanity Factory sets a new price record on Amazon… I check in from time to time just to see how many are for sale and what they’re going for. Currently there’s only one for sale and it’s going for $82.50 plus shipping. About a week ago there were two for sale on Amazon, one for $9 and the other for $33. Those both sold. I long ago canceled the contract with the publisher (IUniverse), so any that aren’t bought directly from me I don’t get a dime from. The IUniverse editions (there were three) are now rare and no more will ever be printed. There are very few IUniverse copies for sale by anyone else, and I’m not selling the few I have. If you want a (non-IUniverse) copy for less than $82.50 you have to buy direct from me!

I was selling e-book versions on my website for $7 but have stopped selling e-book versions.

The film, to be produced by Elizabeth Karlsen of Little Voice fame, will concentrate on Hendrix’s last days in London before his death inSeptember 1970.

======================================

Came across the above news item in my incessant web surfing and was immediately intrigued, as a long-time Hendrix fan. Ever since I’ve been trying to figure out what happened to this flick.

Paul Greengrass has went on to direct two Bourne blockbusters, as well as United 93.

I e-mailed the UK film Council to see if I could find out what happened to this film, and got the phone number for the production company- Number 9 Films. I’d already found the name of the production company but had managed to find very little info about them- they don’t have a website. I wrote back to the UK Film Council saying that it was too expensive to phone England and did they have an e-mail address for Number 9 Films? I also averred that if I’d given someone £94,000 I’d expect them to have a website! The UK Film Council has provided me with an email address- let’s see what happens. They also said “we don’t require production companies to have website in order to fund their projects.”
