Why we change names for books and TV
The discussions over ITVโs Grace using a fictional football club name (Brighton Royals) rather than Brighton and Hove Albion, and AFCsโฆ
Ever wondered why Brighton Royals appears in ITV's Grace instead of Brighton & Hove Albion? Or why authors can use real place names but TV shows often create fictional ones?
Time to pull back the curtain on the fascinating world of creative licensing in books vs. screen adaptations๐

Thank you to @gbpoliceadvisor.bsky.social for a very enlightening consultancy session yesterday. If you're writing crime fiction in the UK, Graham knows the subject inside out. I learnt so much, and recommend him to all my fellow authors. #amwriting

It's quite distracting to write while billing and cooing is happening outside my window. Pigeons, not neighbours, but still...

I feel your pain! Switching between genres is like having a brain transplant. Just wait till you start mixing characters up and they start appearing in the wrong book.

Yes, I made progress writing my next book. Yes, I cleaned the kitchen. Biggest triumph by far was disabling the annoying little tune this thing played every time I looked at it. A good day.

The original Hollow Man. Heโs no hero. No special skills, no grand planโjust a guy fighting to survive in a world where terrorism is rewriting the rules. Can he stop the impending disaster, or will he become another casualty in the chaos?
The 4th in @hollowmanseries โ Loose Ends drops you into 1975 Monte Carlo, where betrayal, black ops, and cold-blooded agendas collide. A Euro-noir spy thriller of survival, shadowy fixers, and espionage at its grittiest.
Book 4 in The Hollow Man Series by Paul Hollis
Set against the turbulent backdrop of 1970s England, it's a gripping political thriller of terrorism, espionage, and survival.
