Rights & Adaptation

All rights currently held by the author. Inquiries go directly to Steve.

Book One is the door. The saga is on the table. A letter starts the conversation.

Ownership

Steve Irwin / Books by Steve holds the copyrights in the Billy Thinx Universe, including the novels, the companion story The Harlan Vales Chronicles, and the associated names, characters, and worlds. Separate properties — Not Forgotten and The Time Blanket — are also held by the author. There is no agency screen on this site. Serious inquiries come to the author.

Open for discussion

  • Screen rights — film, television, streaming
  • Translation and foreign editions
  • Audio
  • Special editions
  • Not Forgotten — holiday drama, short film or feature

Adaptation conversations begin with Book One — Billy Thinx and the First Shadow. Later books follow that door. They are not the first meeting. A one-page leave-behind carries the logline, the comps, and how to write Steve.
