We’ve all done it.

At one stage or another we’ve all let our imagination get just that little bit carried away with itself.

Me, I’ve already decided that Peter Jackson (of Lord of the Rings fame) will direct the film adaptations of the Amy Grace adventures – why wouldn’t he?

Musically I’m torn as to who will do the soundtrack, sometimes I pick Trent Razor (Nine Inch Nails), and then I pick Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine) convinced that she’d jump at the chance to warble away… possibly a collaboration with The Pogues – why not.  Flip even Fergal Sharkey makes an appearance in such runaway dreams – such are the indulgencies of an active imagination… 

Oh, for the runaway fantasies of a writer whose debut novel has still yet to be published.

Natalie Merchant would be on the soundtrack – obviously.

I’ve never squared the circle of a theme tune – genre or artist.  Amy needs a recognisable tune, no pressure but those who sing will need to really earn their supper!    

Characters and cast – that one has never really taken off.

Amy would be the hardest to cast.  She MUST be a redhead, gotta be petite and simply must be five feet and two inches (or metric equivalent) tall. 

I think I’ve settled on debut thespians, on the unknown signing up for the series and using its (inevitable) success to launch Oscar heavy careers.

Anyway, that’s me, deluded fantasy chasing writer and teller of tall tales.

Stay safe, hug those you love and tell them so every chance you get!
