Environmental Suspense Thriller ‘What if…?’ to Become Movie!
Well, that title kind of gives the news away, huh? Not to mention the reason why I’m posting so early this week.
There’s a very real possibility that my eco-suspense thriller ‘What if…?’ might be adapted into a movie by a giant of the entertainment industry (whether for the big screen or the small one is yet to be determined).
It’s a bank holiday here in England, so I decided to have a lie-in this morning. 7:47a.m. I got a phone call. Still drowsy, I answered. I quickly woke up when someone from continental Europe told me what the call was about:
- One of the biggest entertainment production companies in Europe wants me to submit a treatment (breakdown) of my book to see how it could be envisioned as a movie.
And I’m not talking about sneaking my book in through the back door via a friend of my cousin who works in the mailroom who knows a secretary who knows… Oh no, this is a direct request from one of the big cheeses - someone with the power to make things happen if they like what they see!
Will it happen? Who can say? To be honest, I don’t hold out much hope - things like this happen to other people but never work out for me. That said, there is one glaring factor in my favour - I haven’t gone begging; they’ve approached me!
As you’ll appreciate, it’s way too early and inappropriate at this stage to disclose any names. Suffice it to say that while the company may not be a household name, its successful productions are massive globally.
As you can imagine, this is just a tad exciting. Not to mention unexpected. Karma? Who’s to say? After the tragic news Ania and I suffered last week, to receive such good news this week is absolutely incredible.
Don’t fear to dream, my friends. One day… well, you just never know, do you?

If you like my blog - the style, the passion, the philosophy - you’ll absolutely love ‘What if…?’, my suspense thriller. What’s it about?
When a mysterious stranger fights to end world poverty, his seeming ability to heal with just a touch catapults him to fame but thrusts him into a deadly struggle with corporate America and the White House that like the world just the way it is: under their control - poverty, disease, wars and all.
But can the stranger heal? Or is he the biggest villain of all, perpetrating the most elaborate scam of all time?
Is it any good?
‘An engaging and exciting thriller with a difference. It would hold its own with many of the books in the bestseller lists - and then some.’
Scott Pack, Book Reviewer, Me and My Big Mouth‘”What if…?” is virtually flawless - Lee’s vision is precise, poetic, and skillfully crafted. It’s great writing with a great story, very well told.’
