By awmayoras on | From probatelawyerblog.com
One of the best seller authors/screen writers of all time, John Michael Crichton (of Jurassic Park and ER fame) died tragically of throat cancer on November 4, 2008 at the age of 66.  Some estimate his annual earnings before he passed at $100 million per year.  On top of that, two more novels are scheduled for posthumous release as part of a $30 million publishing contract. Of course you'd expect that Crichton's estate plan included the most thorough and up-to-date legal documents ever...Read Full Story

Posthumous Publication - Part One

By Kahlessa on | From musingsonmichaelcrichton.com
There’s a great deal of discussion lately about the decision to publish two Michael Crichton novels (one unfinished) posthumously. Some people are skeptical or uneasy that a techno thriller that Crichton had only written a third of will be finished by another author selected by Crichton’s publisher and family. It’s a topic I find intriguing and I’ll research and ponder it for a future essay on this blog.

Origins of Pirate Latitudes - Part 2

By Kahlessa on | From musingsonmichaelcrichton.com
In my post The Origin of Pirate Latitudes? I speculated that a novel Michael Crichton mentioned he was working on in his autobiography Travels was Pirate Latitudes . Crichton, while describing a 1982 trip to Jamaica, wrote: For many years I had been working on a book about seventeenth-century Jamaica, and now I wanted to visit this museum. As I’ve mentioned before, I thought it was likely that the book was a novel, and any novel about Jamaica in the 17th century would probably contain pirates...Read Full Story
