Is there going to be a movie made of Al Capone Does My Shirts? |
|
|
Al Capone Does My Shirts has been optioned for film almost continuously since its publication in 2004. It is not, however, under option at this moment. Will it ever be a movie? It’s difficult to know how to answer that. Maybe ... I hope so. But there are no plans in the works right now. |

How did you get your idea for the book? |
|
|
I saw an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about kids who grew up on Alcatraz when there was a working penitentiary on the island. For the more complete story, click here. |

Are you going to write more Al Capone books? |
|
|
Last night I dreamt the dream that Theresa Mattaman was having. This was a little bizarre and I can’t say it has ever happened to me before. Does this mean there are more Alcatraz stories in my subconscious? I had only planned to write three but I am wondering now if there are more. |
