AngelMountain

Now we have a great screenplay and are ready for serious discussions with producers and production companies, to turn Wales's best-selling fiction into a worthy TV mini-series or something longer. Watch this space..

Springtime! One of my favourites from the photo gallery. Martha Morgan was very much a "hands on" head of her estate, and would have helped with the lambing. Here she is portrayed by Rhiannon James.

Now that Newsletter 21 is out of the way, back to the day job -- trying to find a producer to look at (and promote) the first-ever costume drama that seeks to tell the story of Wales. In allegorical form, of course -- since all the best stories are not quite what they seem to be.

The last few months have been devoted to the task of revising the draft screenplay of a Pilot episode for the TV series. It's a fascinating process, not least because the advice from one consultant runs directly counter to the advice received from another!

Trying to navigate the nightmare of multile accounts on Twitter -- Twitter seems to create them a a drop of a hat, without being asked......and it clearly thinks I am a whole host of different people....

@Angelmountain5 #fiction #literature This is the key source of info on the 8-volume Angel Mountain saga -- the most successful fiction series ever published in Wales. Over 110,000 books sold, in all editions -- and now with a new audio book audience. angelmountainsaga.com

#writing #HistoricalFiction I was asked the other day what the Angel Mountain Saga is all about. Well, the easy answer is that it is about a young woman trying to protect her family from murderous neighbours. But there's rather more to it than that...brianjohn.co.uk/the-angel-moun…

One of the interesting things about writing fiction is that some who read what you have written know the territory and others have not the faintest idea what it actually looks like. So here is a glimpse of the world of the Angel Mountain series: brian-angelmountain.blogspot.com/2022/01/martha…

Many thanks - on behalf of all Welsh storytellers - to @MatthewRhys for confirming on S4C that he is seeking to endorse "stories from Wales" & to develop TV series & films related to Wales. Let's hope that he succeeds, and that his lead is followed by other Hollywood stars!

@LlyfrauCymru #Wales #books #literature By the start of Dec all 8 of the Angel Mountain novels will be available as audiobooks -- thanks to @Bolindaaudio. It's great that all of the audiobooks will be available via the Welsh library system to those with eyesight issues.

#HistoricalFiction #drama #audiobooks @Bolindaaudio @walesbook @newwelshreview Coming soon -- the last of the 8 audiobooks in the Angel Mountain saga. Thanks to Bolinda for a great project successfully completed. Mother Wales brought to life!

@Bolindaaudio #HistoricalRomance Just a couple of months to wait before the issue of Vol 8 of the Angel Mountain series, in the Bolinda Audiobook version. Congrats to them -- they have done a fantastic job on the whole series.

#HistoricalFiction #drama #audiobooks There have been 10 printings of the "On Angel Mountain" paperback - not bad for a self-published book with no subsidy. The other 7 novels have done well too -- "a self-publishing phenomenon!" said the Bookseller. angelmountainsaga.com

@fostwrite @mrjamesob Agree -- every day we are treated to pics from Johnson's personal photographer of the great man prodding pigs, filling test tubes, driving JCBs, tickling babies and doing whatever it takes to be seen as a man of the people and a great scientist to boot. All absurd.

@Angelmountain5 @mrjamesob absolutely. it was fun and it was funny. and for the Tories to talk about stunts.....

You might think this is pathetic/hypocritical/hilarious from the Conservatives but Starmer did actually drive a JCB through a mountain of fake wallpaper to make a meaningless point that had nothing to do with reality... so they do have a serious point.

#fiction #audiobook #romancenovels "Another masterpiece -- real, full of passion and substance. Love, guts, life and death." "A magnificent achievement". The 8-vol Angel Mountain Saga @Bolindaaudio will soon be complete; 6 available so far.

#HistoricalRomance #drama #fiction @Bolindaaudio Brian John's 8-volume Angel Mountain Saga, which started publication 21 years ago, comes of age with the brilliant Bolinda audiobook versions. Six down, two to go. Enjoy!
