Laura No, we wanted to make the change and go and become television writers, but I don�t think that we ever thought [the book would be the way in].

Mel No, it didn�t really occur to me. It happened really fast. The first book was due maybe like a month after [the TV people became interested]. So I was caught up in finishing the first manuscript, I wasn�t really thinking beyond that.

Laura We thought we had the skills ourselves to go and become television writers. We had never thought of doing it by developing a book and turning it into a TV series.
