Dear all.Nearly a year ago I announced on my website that I intend to write a book for young people under the title “Return to Terabithia” it was met with positive feedback from you, which I admit gave me much needed energy to finish it on time, as it did. Less than a month is left until the book is released, and therefore, I have two pieces of information - one bad and one good. We'll start first with the bad. But to announce it, I must go back more than two years ago. In mid 2009 I sent a letter to Ms Katherine Paterson asking if she could lend me the words Terabithia written by her for my new book. Unfortunately, I did not receive any reply. Undaunted by this fact, a year later I started to write my third book, hoping that I will obtain such consent. I sent another message, however, it too remained unanswered. In desperation, at the end of June this year, I turned to the author with my request in writing, which I posted on her official Facebook profile. However, again I received no response. In fact, I received it two days later when my request was removed from the author's profile without any explanation. Which is a clear sign for me that the author did not consent to my request. I fully respect this, although I must admit I don't really understand. And even though legally I could use this word, as it has not been reserved, I do not intend to do so. Having no other choice and less and less time for the official release, I am forced to change the cover, which was a guide for you throughout the year. And this is the end of the bad news. The good news is that the book will be released on 1st September and to reward your disappointment, which you inevitably feel right now, I'll only say that I changed the title in such a way so that you received an answer to the most pressing question you have been asking me via email and which I could not answer individually due to the large number of your letters, which I would like to apologize for in advance. Unfortunately, I cannot answer the second equally important question that you ask me, as reading the book would not be interesting in itself. Already on 11th August, I would like to invite you to my website so that you can see the new cover prepared for you. I believe that you will like it as much as the previous one and find it inspiring to read the book written for you. Yours sincerely Jack Weil
Well, I’m trapped.
I wanted to do something good and decided that I’d writea book for children. Perhaps more for youth.
The most fussy clients in the world. No offense. I’ve always wanted to write, since I can remember.ButI believe books for youth, despite their simplicity, are the most demandingand difficult to write. Praise to all who find enough courage to write them.Though some shouldn’t.
Well, I’ve said the word and it’s time to start this adventure. And because I’m a little vain, I know that I will manage. That’s what I think now, however, I know that while writing it, I’ll have many doubts. Nevertheless, I hope I can count on a little of your support. That you’ll help me defeat the Dark Master. Although the result of this battle has not yet been established.
Eli Wallach has received the Honorary Academy Award. Congratulations!!!
Thank you to all for reading my website and voting. At the same time, we are closing the campaign of the free copy of my book. I hope that those who downloaded it, had a pleasant time reading, but return afterwards to reality :)
OK. Let’s begin the campaign Oscar for Eli Wallach.
He’s a fantastic Actor, so it’s worth doing this for him.
Remember that you can download the book only after meeting the terms of the regulations contained on both websites: www.jackweil.com
