5 Things You Should Know About A Nick of Time

By Mike Dicerto

1. A Nick of Time is the fourth in a series of Rupert Starbright adventures.

2. A Nick of Time was adapted from an animated musical screenplay called “The Zodiac” that I wrote 20 years earlier and just say collecting dust.

3. A Nick of Time has been optioned (as the first three) to be developed into a motion picture series.

4. I wrote a dozen original songs for this story- one for each of the signs of the Zodiac. It was one of my favorite aspects of writing A Nick of Time.

5. My love of silly words and new bizarre words comes from reading Dr Seuss as a kid. A Nick of Time is full of words I created.
