One of the neatest benefits of being an author is the wonderful opportunities that come your way which don’t have anything to do with writing. A few weeks ago I was contacted by an extraordinary film director and grad student at Savannah College of Art and Design who is planning on shooting a Civil War documentary and drama here in Fredericksburg. I am not at liberty to discuss the exact topic, but Richard Williams and I have been providing some networking and content consultation with the producers of the film. This promises to be an interesting experience that may tie over into some other projects of note and I will keep you apprised of the situation as details become concrete and releasable.
