i just realised the next strike book is in less than 3 months

MAAAATEEE!!!! SEPTEMBER IS LIKE RIGHT HEEERE!!! and after having put myself, twice, through the "agony" of waiting like, a few hours, for the book I pre-bought to arrive to me after the release date, this time I've gotten it on kindle, so I'll get it instantly and I can't wait.

I love the feeling of paper books, I truly do, but I travel a lot so with kindle I can bring them around without extra weight, I also don't have more room in bookshelves, I don't want to kill trees either, and if I have them on kindle I can also click on words I don't know (english not being my first language) to instantly know their definitions, or put the books into pdf in my computer and be able to do quick research when writing fanfic or trying to find something I don't remember.

CAN'T WAIT!!! I'll be making spoilers as soon as i have it for everyone who wants them!

26/September/2023 ----> in just 81 DAYS!!!

The truth about Brontë Films and TV

The sister company of Brontë is Snowed-in:

J. K. Rowling DOES NOT hold any positions in either of the companies. The one who does is Neil Blair:

So Pottermore, the Harry Potter Films, Fantastic Beasts, The Cursed Child... they are all completely UNRELATED to Brönte. Covid affected the sales of The Cursed Child (which had to temporarily close) and Fantastic Beasts (which had to delay filming, costing millions of dollars). But neither of them plummeted their sales because of any boycott, it was because of Covid, and did not affect, in any way, to Brönte.

J. K. Rowling also has, as I said, no official position for either production company. She is good friends with Neil Blair, who's her agent, and obviously they work together in plenty of things, he's very supportive of her, and I'm sure they conceived the idea of Brönte together, but she does not really work there.

So why is the press saying that Brönte's profits plummeted?

Long story short: Covid. It is unrelated to any boycott or scandals or anything. What happened was that Brönte, as you saw, is a very small production company. They do Strike and The Casual Vacancy, period, and they do so with the BBC. Troubled Blood should've been filmed a year before it actually got filmed, but it suffered because of Covid mainly, as filming here in Britain was halted, and also because conflicts of schedule with Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger, and because Holliday was pregnant during Covid, and her twins are about to turn 2 years now, if memory serves me right. So basically there were a number of factors that meant they couldn't film when they ideally would've wanted to, that things had to be delayed and halted, and then filming has gotten way more expensive, between other reasons because now you have to pay all the PPE and Covid testing for actors. So of course their finances have taken a blow.

But no one boycotted them. Besides, no one COULD HAVE boycotted them. The series go to BBC (which is state-owned and paid for by the taxpayer) and HBO (private through subscription), so they've got their money pretty much guaranteed.

To anyone who has Strike ebooks

I've been informed that many of the mistakes we've seen in the books, such as Lucy's age, are being corrected in the newly-updated ebooks. Since I only have the paperbacks, could someone tell me all the corrections they've spotted?

[…] I’m also such a fan of the work that you do on C.B. Strike. That’s another great character. What can you say to tease what fans can expect from the upcoming episodes of that series?

GRAINGER: My head is so in C.B. Strike, at the moment, because I just finished reading the sixth book last night, The Ink Black Heart. I just get so absorbed in J.K. Rowling’s writing, as the rest of the world does. The next episodes (Troubled Blood, Parts 1-4) are a cold case. In terms of the Strike-Robin journey, it’s that will they or won’t they. There’s more of the same. You’re still with them on the will they or won’t they journey.

What do you most enjoy about Rachel Carey and Robin Ellacott? What have been the most fun aspects of getting to play both of those characters? What do you think they would think of each other if they were ever to meet?

GRAINGER: I would love to see if Rachel and Robin would get on. The major difference between them is that Robin’s a people pleaser. She likes to be liked, and she’s quite calm and empathetic. And I feel like Carey just doesn’t really give a shit what other people think. Whether or not they would get on would completely depend upon the circumstances in which they met. I feel like they both have ambition and passion for their work, so I feel like, if they were on the same side of an investigation, they would really get on and respect each other. But if they were at loggerheads and trying to hide information from each other, they would hate each other.

Do they feel very different when you play them?

GRAINGER: Yeah, they do. It always feels a lot more high-pressure, doing The Capture. Maybe it’s because you can never quite leave your work at work. As much as Rachel Carey always appears calm and collected, she’s always in a heightened state of anxiety. She’s got so much at stake and so much going on. Playing that is quite difficult because you feel like a bottle being shaken. There’s something much more grounded and open about Robin, which makes it feel easier to leave, at the end of the day.

Strike, Nancarrow and Ellacott

Nancarrow has a beautiful origin:

Strike is also Cornish:

Interestingly, Ellacott is ALSO Cornish surname!
