This female best selling author got into some serious debt because she is addicted to gambling. With casinos hounding her for payment, she turned to a “friend” to help her out. The friend gladly paid off the entire debt to the casinos, but in return got our author to sign over any and all future rights from her books. This author has always been reluctant to have her books appear as films because of some bad previous experiences, but now, she really has no choice because she gave up all the rights. I would predict a flood of made for television type fare over the next few years all based on her books. Oh, and she is still gambling. cd
