Archer sells TV, film rights to 10 books

LONDON, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- British author and former Tory peer Jeffrey Archer has sold the film and television rights to 10 of his books, the Daily Telegraph said.

Among the works that could be adapted as movies or TV shows are "A Matter of Honor," "As the Crow Flies" and "Honor Among Thieves".

The newspaper did not say how much Archer was paid in the deal.

"We look forward to developing these exceptional literary properties across film and television to excite Jeffrey Archer's enormous worldwide fan base and new audiences alike resulting in productions with that must-see factor," the Telegraph quoted Jeffrey Steiner, the Canadian businessman who bought the rights, as saying.

"I'm enthusiastic to see my novels move toward development as film and digital productions. Like any author, I am keen to see my books made into films, giving me the opportunity to reach an even wider audience," Archer added.
