Big Annoucement! I've sold the TV rights for a book that started out on this forum.

[stevek]

Another congrats here! Just gave the original MHI to our last student to read...with instructions that I better get it back intact. The patch is going on my range bag,

 

[DaleA]

Congratulations is just trite and inadequate but that’s all I’ve got. (Guess that’s why YOU’RE the writer.)

I sure wouldn’t mind if you showed off a little bit and posted a picture of all your books. It’s actually kind of inspirational.

I believe Vince Flynn, another writer I enjoy, started out by self publishing his first book.

 

[ArfinGreebly]

Yo, Larry!

Wife would be thrilled to replicate your post on the NoisyRoom blog. (We already advertise your books.)

Say the word.

 

[Good&Fruity]

Wow, simply amazing. Congrats!!

 

[mfcmb]

That's great Larry! The two Monster Hunter books were the first ebooks I ever bought (after reading maybe a hundred free ebooks from the Baen Free Library and Feedbooks) and enjoyed them immensely.

Please pace yourself and don't burn out, OK?

 

[Sam Cade]

also, Congrats Larry!!

We need some MHI patches!

 

[HorseSoldier]

Very cool news. If a TV show can capture the spirit of the books, I'd be tuning in regularly.

 

[Deus Machina]

Oh heck yes.

I expect you to pay visits to the hypothetical future prop guys and firearm advisers while holding a large blunt object.

I also mean to get my hands on some MHI badges for the range bag, too.

They're such cute little penguins.

 

[shootr]

My hat's off to you - what an accomplishment!! Congratulations!

 

[Big_E]

Awesome! Congrats on the TV deal. I was hoping that MHI would become a TV series.

I see your signing dates have you in Boise, ID on May 15th. Kinda ticked about that since I will leave town a few days before. Hopefully you come back through here sometime.

On a side note, I need to finish MHV, been so sidetracked with life that I need to sit down and finish it.

Oh, and lets hope that the firearms related stuff on TV will remain mostly correct/realistic. Can't wait to see Abomination in action. Red was a pretty good movie. I have been wanting to see Walking Dead but it always skips my mind.

Best of luck!

 

[Apple a Day]

BANZAI!!!
That's great news! Congrat's!
Now WHEN ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO WATCH IT?!

 

[db_tanker]

I can only hope they have the good sense to run the show at or after 9 PM so the content can be more...appropriate.

OR...even better...HBO. full hour of action AND you can get away with more special effects.


to RhinoDefense...bro you need to step back a bit and check yourself...

 

[Dr.Rob]

That is super fantastic news! Congratulations!

 

[Red Tornado]

Awesome Larry! I'd love to see a TV show/series so I could be all pissed that they missed details. I'll cross my fingers for AMC, FX, or HBO to pick it up.

[danprkr]

Awesome!!!!!

 

[jerkface11]

I hope AMC or Showtime picks it up. I doubt SYFY would do a good job on it. USA might though.

 

[First4Freedom]

Congratulations friend!

 

[saltydog452]

Pre-paid a while ago when I ordered MHI 'Vendetta'.

Amazon delivered 'Magic' yesterday.

Thank you Sir.

salty

 

[Dr.Rob]

Just ordered Hard Magic, Alpha and pre-ordered Dead Six. Congrats again Larry!

 

[Correia]

Yep... There's one guy like that on every forum. For the record, I can't really rip off a thread SINCE I WROTE IT. Mike Kupari and I wrote the thread to entertain the forumites, and it is our names on the book. Jeez.

 

[Leanwolf]

Kudos, Larry! It ain't easy to write, and it is even harder to sell one's work in Hollywood, whether novels or screenplays.

Where in Boise will you be having a book signing, and at what time?? I couldn't find it here.

L.W.

 

[wideym]

I read MHI and Vendetta a week ago, they always seem to be out of stock around here until recently. Great books, I couldn't put them down.

Any collabiration with Ringo or other authors from Baen in the future?

Also I gave my brother both books and he already is looking for a grenade launcher for his Saiga-12, I'm sure his wife will give you the stink eye for that if she sees you.

 

[Girodin]

And to think I "knew" him way back when. Larry taught my Utah concealed firearm permit class.

 

[Mac45]

Congrats Larry!

 

[1911 guy]

Haven't been able to get ahold of a copy of MHI around here yet, but did pick up MHV, which I read and passed on to another sci-fi reader. I may have to hit Amazon to get MHI.

You're the second person on as many forums (that I am personaly aware of) who has shown creativity in posting and gone on to write books. Maybe a shift in how published authors get started?

In any case, congrats on the current success and here's hoping for more in the future.
