Work is progressing on the screen adaptation of "Advantage Disadvantage" into a screenplay by a well connected Hollywood scrennwriter.  I am very excited to think that my murder-mystery novel depicting greedy adults exploiting a high school basketball player could hit the big screen.  It's a little bit early (the screenplay is about 75% completed), but the project lurches forward every week.

The film will follow the book's srotylines with a little different sequence and emphasis.  Also, the screenplay, and ultimately the book, will be renamed - more on that later.  For now, check it out on Kindle, Smashwords, IPAD, etc for 99 cents!

Can't wait to tell you who has been cast in the main roles!!

Yale,

Good news, bad news.

Bad news: A gentle reminder that, as mentioned in our Forum Decorum, we ask that threads not be bumped by the word "bump." Good news: posting this reminder gave you another bump. :D

Keep us posted about your screen adaptation!

Advantage Disadvantage just received this wonderful 5 star review from Michael Balkind:

"I thoroughly enjoyed Advantage Disadvantage. Mr. Jaffe reveals the dark, ugly, almost evil side of high school basketball while also portraying the game in its truer side of passion, determination and drive to be one's best. Even as a writer of sports mysteries my stomach was churned by some of the revolting shenanigans that Jaffe describes behind the scenes of the game. Fiction or not, it is clear that Jaffe's story is based on his experience and understanding of what goes on both on the court and off.
Whether you enjoy sports or not, Advantage Disadvantage is a compelling read and will keep you turning the pages as sub-plots within the twisted main plot are all tied together in the end. "

99 cents Kindle and smashwords.com

11.99 paperback.

Enjoy!

Gifted athletics emerge annually from nearly every community. As opportunities for scholarships evolve so does the greed of those who surround him. Street agents, neighborhood bookies, overzealous parents, and ambitious coaches are some of those who pollute the purity of amateur athletics. Advantage Disadvantage is the story of achievement, betrayal, infidelity, and murder involving a talented high school athlete. Set in the gritty Chicago basketball scene, this is a tale of opportunism, triumph and danger. You will learn about the underbelly of prep basketball from a longtime referee's point of view. The motivations and goals of those involved will be familiar to you. They are in your neighborhood, at your schools, lurking around the shadows - at their best and their worst. Advantage Disadvantage, a sports thriller.

Free in all eformats on smashwords.com . Enjoy!
