The Family DuMont is a high concept story with a large ensemble of characters. It's about a family that been secretly influencing the world for centuries. The modern family, which is who the story is about, have evolved from being agents of kings and royalty into an independent intelligence agency that anybody can hire if they are able to pay. The first book is the introduction to this large family and how they reunite after several years of internal drama. It's got great action and adventure, but it's also very much about the family and their relationships with each other. It's like if James Bond had a large family and they were all part of the spy business, but with a fair amount of Downton Abbey drama.

As the series progresses it is revealed that an ancient enemy is plotting against the family.

Thats hilarious! Can we use that in our pitch?

As long as we get to be the thimble.

what is this "dollars and cents" you speak of. We have heard of such things.

Hey Flyachan, We both FULLY understand your plight. This can be a lonely, disappointing and very difficult road to travel. For us I can say that working in a creative partnership has been the key to not slitting our wrists. Not to say that it's all doom and gloom but it has been great to be able to share success with somebody.

As far as motivation for you I will encourage you to first of all write for yourself. Do not ever require the praise of others, especially ones wearing suits in glass offices. Belief is a strong motivator for people and if you don't give up and share your enthusiasm for your work with others you will find success and people will respond. Just hang in there and good luck. Don't ever give up on your dreams. For us we have not only chosen to follow this path, but we know instinctively that this is what we should be doing with our lives and won't let little things like 'no' stop us.
