๐Ÿ“š **Dear Friends and Readers,**


I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has purchased a copy of my novella, *Reunion: A Story*. Your support means the world to me, and I am truly humbled by the way you've embraced this little book of mine.


Writing *Reunion* was a labor of love—a journey of late nights, countless revisions, and moments of self-doubt. But seeing it in your hands, knowing that my words have found a place in your hearts, fills me with immense joy.


To those who left reviews, shared the book with friends, or simply reached out to say how much they enjoyed it—thank you. Your encouragement fuels my passion for storytelling, and I'm inspired to keep writing more tales that resonate with you.

And now, for those who wanted more of Jim, Mark, and Marty, I have exciting news: I'm working on the follow-up novel, *Reunion: Coda*. The story continues, and I can't wait to share it with you.


Remember, as an author, I don't create stories in a vacuum. It's your imagination, your empathy, and your willingness to embark on this literary adventure that breathe life into the characters and their world.


So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a part of this journey. May *Reunion: A Story* continue to find its way into the hands of readers who seek solace, escape, and a touch of magic within its pages.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Alex Diaz-Granados

How many movies have been made based on Stephen King's 'It'?

How many movies have been made based on Stephen King's It ? It  has been adapted twice for filmed audio-visual media. The first filmed version of  It was a TV limited series; the second was a duology of theatrically-released movies.  The first adaptation of Stephen King’s 1986 doorstop of a novel was a 1990 adaptation made as a two-part ABC miniseries for television. Among the cast members: Tim Reid, Harry Anderson, Annette O’Toole, John Ritter, and Richard Thomas. The miniseries also featured Tim Curry as the evil Pennywise the Clown. Adapted for television by director Tommy Lee Wallace and Lawrence D. Cohen (who also adapted King’s  Carrie  for director Brian De Palma in 1976),  It  was okay but a watered-down take on the scary novel about a group of friends who must face off against a monstrous entity known as “It” twice. Once as kids in 1960, then again as adults in 1990. (Like  11,22.63,  the TV version of It avoids the year 1958, which is where parts of  11/22/63

Talking About Tom Clancy's 'Ryanverse': Was Jack Ryan a Republican or a Democrat?

Harrison Ford starred in two Jack Ryan films. © 1992 Paramount Pictures On Quora, member Maya Lachman asks: Was Jack Ryan a Republican or a Democrat? My reply: If you’re talking about Tom Clancy’s iconic character John Patrick Ryan, Sr., he is depicted in the novels as being Republican, especially in most of the books that follow 1991’s  The Sum of All Fears. In the early Jack Ryan novels ( The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, The Cardinal of the Cardinal, Clear and Present Danger,  and  The Sum of All Fears ), Ryan works his way up the ranks in the Central Intelligence Agency, starting out as a recently-recruited analyst and rising all the way to Deputy Director (Intelligence), or DDI. During his time at CIA, Ryan doesn’t have much to say about politics (except in the context of U.S.-Soviet relations, in which case he is obviously a Cold War Republican), but his pre-CIA resume includes a stint as a Marine Corps lieutenant, a successful stockbroker who, despite

Movie Review: 'PT-109'

In June of 1963, five months before the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Warner Bros. released director Leslie Martinson’s  PT-109 , an adaptation of Robert J. Donovan’s non-fiction book  PT-109: John F. Kennedy in World War II.   Starring Cliff Robertson ( Charly, Spider-Man ) as Navy Lieutenant (junior grade) John F. Kennedy and co-starring Ty Hardin, James Gregory, Robert Culp, Robert Blake, Norman Fell and even an uncredited George Takei (Hikaru Sulu of  Star Trek: The Original Series ), the film is a fairly accurate depiction of JFK’s naval service in the South Pacific as the commander of a motor torpedo boat given the Navy pennant number PT-109 (the PT standing for the Navy ship designator “Patrol Torpedo”).  Although Hollywood had made movies in which former Presidents (either living or dead) were depicted, producer Bryan Foy, under the direct guidance of Warner Bros.' head of production Jack Warner (who, in turn, was influenced by Joseph P. Kennedy, a f
