Will anyone who practices law in Florida and would be willing to help me out for pretty much no money–but, hey, lotsa free comics and some autographed books–contact me off-list at padguy@aol.com.

Thanks.

Addendum from PAD: No, there’s nothing wrong with the “comment” function. I deleted all responses and blocked off commentary because this topic doesn’t require discussion, and it sure doesn’t need another round of pathetic attention-craving idiocy. If someone can help, contact me via e-mail. End of discussion.

I’ve turned in the second draft for the CGI animated film, “Gene Roddenberry’s Starpoint Academy.” The heartening thing is that the producers, IDT Entertainment, have just signed a two year, multipicture deal with 20th Century Fox. So that increases somewhat the actual odds of the picture being made. That would be exceptionally cool, especially since they’re looking to try and build it up as a series rather than a one-off. Of coure, it’s showbiz, so anything can happen, but if my involvement should continue through to the end (so that the credits read “Screenplay by Peter David” as opposed to “Screenplay by Peter David and six other guys”) that will put me in pretty good position for continued participation.

At the moment, working as fast as my little fingers can fly on finishing the next “New Frontier” novel. Usually when I write novels, the beginning is very slow going and then as the story moves along, I start to write faster and faster as if I can barely keep up with the story unspooling in my head. In this instance I’ve been barreling along almost from the beginning, so hopefully that will be reflected in the final MS.
