Both projects, as it happened, have been put “on hold” for the time being. This is very common in the creative arts. For reasons of professional privacy I will not reveal the names of the writers, as there is still a possibility that one or the other may yet be produced.

A published author with several books to her credit contacted us to provide information about how our cruise worked. Her intention was to have a large part of the story take place during a Murder Afloat cruise. Her main character was to have become involved in a real life historical mystery as a result of the show. The author even traveled up to Savannah to meet with us and take a cruise to experience the show first-hand. This novel has been outlined, but the author has shelved the project for now.

A very successful Hollywood writer/producer contacted us through one of her researchers for information about these types of mystery shows. She was working on a screenplay which would have used a similar cruise as a backdrop for a romantic comedy. This project, likewise was shelved.

Man, this show business stuff is heart-breaking!

(Before Miley’s project was even announced we even had a reference in the script to one of characters doing a Hannah Montana rip-off called  Dinah Carolina!) That’s us, though; always ahead of the curve :)
