Three Nickels and a Dime is a truly unique narrative and will be of interest to anyone who has a dream and especially to those who have a humungous dream that seems impossible to achieve. With support from family and divine intervention throughout the process, they went through the steps from drawing up plans to marketing suites, all the while keeping a positive outlook and persevering. When God puts a dream in your heart, go after it, knowing that it is never too late to start a new beginning! Regardless of your age or stage in life, your brightest day may be just around the corner. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Don't underestimate yourself. And never give up. The couple's message to the reader is "If we can do it, you can do it! It is God who is bigger than any of us." "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5,6

This book explores the significance of professional writers and their role in developing British storytelling in the 1920s and 1930s, and their influence on the poetics of today’s transmedia storytelling. Modern techniques can be traced back to the early twentieth century when film, radio and television provided professional writers with new formats and revenue streams for their fiction. The book explores the contribution of four British authors, household names in their day, who adapted work for film, television and radio. Although celebrities between the wars, Clemence Dane, G.B. Stern, Hugh Walpole and A.E.W Mason have fallen from view. The popular playwright Dane, witty novelist Stern and raconteur Walpole have been marginalised for being German, Jewish, female or gay and Mason’s contribution to film has been overlooked also. It argues that these and other vocational authors should be reassessed for their contribution to new media forms of storytelling. The book makes a significant contribution in the fields of media studies, adaptation studies, and the literary middlebrow.
