Fortune From Misfortune Illness of Son Drives Writer to Fame
Joseph Hayes of Indianapolis rose from a decade of varied writing to worldwide attention after illness struck his son Gregory. While hospital stays and a Florida retreat spurred a six week book stretch, the work titled The Desperate Hours sold to Randam House and serially in Collier’s, Reader’s Digest, and Literary Guild. Hollywood pursued film rights led by William Wyler with Hayes to write the script and star actors set. Hayes plans continued production in Connecticut, balancing books plays and screenwriting, while Gregory recovers with a growing family including a new sibling expected in December.
