Dear Group,

I feel I have stumbled upon a literary garden. Reassuring to see so many inspired and aspiring scribes.

I am a former film producer and current motorcycle journalist who has embarked on a new genre of picture story book. For those of you that might be interested to have a look go to The Plunge of Icarus | an art book by CineNovel to see some sample art on this first project. I coined (and trademarked) CineNovel because what I'm doing does not necessarily jive with graphic novels. CineNovel uses photography, real actors, and a full literary manuscript to create an unusual reading experience.

Originally intended as an oversized coffee table picture story book I have warmed to the idea of expanding into a highly advanced e-book for the new computer-capable e-readers, rendering dissolves, sound FX, lighting FX, etc. for a thoroughly engaging reading entertainment.

Certainly welcome thoughts from interested parties.

Jeff
