Val Landi's A Woman from Cairo gets film offer

Val Landi, who has published his debut thriller A Woman from Cairo via Amazon's own outfit, Booksurge, reports that his book has received a Hollywood film offer. This is probably an 'option', and does not represent a very high probability that the film will eventually be made, but it does indicate - as Landi points out - that Hollywood is prepared to take greater risks with controversial material than the American publishing industry, which I find a little surprising. Best of luck to Val: he's put his money where his mouth is, and it looks like a good investment.

I've blogged about Val before, of course.
