Way to go congrats. What's the genre??

Drama. It is historical fiction set in 14th - 15th century London. Here is the log line.

Only King HENRY THE EIGHTH can stop LORD JAMES MERCY from being burned at the stake as a heretic. But instead of saving his life, King HENRY conspires to exact revenge.

Okay, intrigue in the palace.

Sounds interesting and a difficult write. Does Lord Mercy have a real counterpart as well as the king?

No. he is just the result of my fevered brain working overtime. I think the write came out okay after much research on 15th century language, sword fighting, armor, and falconing.

Cool. I got my script in that one as well. They haven't contacted me though. Did you get an email about it?

Damn. Didn't make the second cut. But I did get a request from a major production company today for my script. No body said it was easy but I have hopes.
