This little tale began life as I was bemoaning something to my agent. I had just come back from working with Sharman Networks, in Sydney, on a big Kazaa project. The project, Day of Dreams, was fated to never happen because the record and film companies started to sue Sharman for breaching copywright - anyway, my friend Mat Fraser, who shares the same agent, was dissatisfied too and declared that he wanted to star in a kung fu movie. The problem is that he has short arms. Well the long and the short of it is that I went away and wrote a screenplay which has now been optioned. Here is the first chapter of the novel I am writing based on that screen play. As the weeks go by I will add a bit more, a chapter here and a chapter there.
