Re: Universal shot down my Columbo short story book
Hi. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read it. I'm so happy you liked it, and I truly appreciate your kind words. I have about 10 other stories that I wanted to write, in that book of short stories I wanted to publish. Maybe someone, someday will read my current one and have some pull at Universal and get them to change their minds. I would think keeping Columbo in the public eye could only benefit them. Unless they are planning something we don't know ... ;-)
Re: Universal shot down my Columbo short story book
I read it as well and liked it too, would've been nice if it made it to a typical columbo movie, I can see columbo's typical habits come up in the dialogue!
Re: Universal shot down my Columbo short story book
I also enjo*** the story. Are there any more on the website? There was a fan fiction site a few years ago that was really good also. I think somebody archived it. If so, can they please share the link?
Re: Universal shot down my Columbo short story book
Hi,
So glad you enjo*** it. Unfortunately, once I was shot down by Universal, I stopped writing the rest.
I just read David Koenig's book, 'Unshot Columbo', it summarizes all the Columbo movies that DIDN'T get made (yes, including mine), and there were some fabulous story ideas and 'gotcha' clues. I truly enjo*** the book. I reached out to him after reading his 'Shooting Columbo' book, which details the behind the scenes of each episode. I use it as reference when I watch them every Saturday night on Cozi TV. LOL
