No. I remember with, I think it was Along Came a Spider, and they asked me, there's a character, Gary, S-O-N-E-J-I, in the books. They said, how do you pronounce it? I said, Soniji. So in the movie, of course, they call him Sonji. which is fine, but they asked, and then they could care less. It's gotten a little better lately.

One of the things I don't like is somebody says they want to do one of the series, Michael Bennett or something, and then they send me like an eight-page outline of the first book, and I'm going like, okay, that doesn't seem very creative to me. I think there should be a difference usually between the book and the movie. So I like the fact that this is a brand new story.

Women's Murder Club, everything went wrong with that. You look at it and a postman gets killed in the first scene. You go, OK, am I supposed to care? And then they go and interview the postman's grandmother and the postman's uncle. And you go, seriously? And they go, yeah, because it's going to be the dialogue between the women. I'm going like, I don't know, man. I mean, that's a piece of it.

But there's also a mystery story here. And that ain't it. Right. So they sort of missed the point. Yeah. Plus, a couple of cast members really didn't like each other. Angie Harmon was one. She was great. And she would call me pretty much every week and go, please help me. And a couple of the women, they were just bad news. It was painful. And there's always ways to make these things work.

All of the books, it's all problem solving. How do we solve that problem? I have a whole series, Walking My Combat Boots. We just did American Heroes about Medal of Honor winners. And Matt Eversman, who I deal with, Matt was the actual sergeant who was portrayed in the movie Black Hawk Down. Great guy, good friend of mine. has seen a lot of combat.
