Hopefully both.\u003cbr\u003e For these screen adaptations of the standalone novels in my trilogy featuring Charlie Martens-\u003ci\u003eVernon Downs\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWorld Gone Water\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGarden Lakes\u003c\/i\u003e-I was interested in something else entirely: a thematic adaptation of each that captures the essence of the novels while completely reimagining them plot-wise.
