Shilo movie

Comment:

Is there any way I can get ahold of the first movie shilo I enjoyed watching it as a kid and it would be the greatest Christmas wish if u can help me get my hands on the movie I loved it I have even read the book and loved it to please help me with this

Phyllis replied:

I think the best way would be to look for used Shiloh movies on Amazon.  Click on the name of the Shiloh movie you want and see if there are any offers of second hand movies that people want to sell.  You’d be taking a chance on the condition of the movie, but it’s worth a try.

question

Comment:

Hi, this is mia t. and i am reading your book right now and wondered why they have not movie yet. Thank you! God bless you

Phyllis replied:

I don’t know what book you are reading so I can’t help much.   (But of course ALL writers probably wonder why the movie people didn’t choose THEIR books to make into movies!)

The Dolphin Bar and Shrimp House, Jensen Beach, FL.

Comment:

Hello Phyllis,
My husband and I were at the “Dolphin Bar and Shrimp House” at about 4:30 this afternoon. As we were leaving I passed by your reserved table with a Shiloh book on the table. I have been tutoring a Grade 4 boy back in the Windsor,Ont.Canada area and we are reading this book for his school Language Arts program in Harrow, Ontario. He is in love with dogs and deeply into this novel. We are at the St. Lucie PGA resort until Sat. when we return to Canada. Is there anything you could provide for Max as he would be thrilled and very motivated to hear from the author of this great book.I can meet you anywhere and am so sorry I coud not stay to meet you and share this fact with Max on Tuesday when I will see him again. I hope that I am not intruding. I also used your books during my teaching career that began in !970 and is still going strong. Regards, Dorothea Bryant

Phyllis replied:

I would have  been glad to meet you if I was there but I have no idea where the shrimp  house is, and have not been out of Maryland for some time.  I’m not surprised that you saw a Shiloh book on a table, because that little dog does seem to get around, but I appreciate your thinking of me.  If you write to me at 401 Russell Av., apt 713, Gaithersburg, MD, 20877, and remind me of this boy with a self-addressed envelope to mail something back to you, I’ll find something to send to him.

what made you write about shiloh

Phyllis replied:

I found a dog in West Virginia that had been mistreated, so decided to write a book about her.   She was female.

Shiloh Movie

Comment:

Why is Shiloh no longer available to purchase on Amazon Prime Video?

Phyllis replied:

I wish I had an answer for you.  If you can find a used copy for sale on Amazon, I certainly would try that next.  There are various rumors that a new Shiloh movie is in the works, but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

To My Favorite Author

Comment:

How did you come up with such a timeless classic of a novel? The idea and execution of the text is just fantastic!

Phyllis replied:

I believe you’re referring to Shiloh.  I met the real dog who inspired the story, and once she had found a good home, the whole story came together in my head.  I’m glad you enjoyed it so much.

Was Shiloh?

Comment:

Hi Mrs. Phyllis,hope this finds you doing well. I’ve been a fan of yours & Shiloh since I was a little girl. I’m 27 now. It’s one of my most favorite films & novels. I’m so happy I came across your website. My question is, was Shiloh a male or Female? I’ve always wondered this.
I hope to hear from you. And thank you so much for your time & for creating such a story that I hold so closely to my heart.

 

Phyllis replied:

Shiloh was a female dog, but in my book I made her male.  I’m so glad you liked the story.
