Good days and better days
So, there
are days when being a writer sucks. I mean in my case, it sucks the life out of
me, draining me of ideas, words, and hope. There seem to be a lot more of those
days lately. But from time to time, something happens that shakes up the dreary
routine and puts a spring back in my step. I recently had a Saturday that was
one of the latter.
Some of you
may know that my first novel, The Blood in Snowflake Garden, was optioned by a
production company a couple of years ago. I’m not allowed to disclose much, but
things are on track and it looks very promising that it’ll be picked up as a
television series. If all goes to plan, next year is going to be big.
A couple of
Saturdays ago, I met with Brian Buckner about the project and heard about how
the TV series will look and feel. While there are certainly some big changes
from the book, I’m exceedingly happy they are taking it in the direction he
spoke about. The new direction will open up a world of possibilities.
Some
characters will change a little, some minor folks will be bigger and while
others didn’t make the cut. The timeline is different, but I love the new take
on it.
I wish I
could share all the detail, but I can’t for now. But when I can, trust me, I’m
not going to shut up about it. J
For now, get
a copy of the book and see what all the fuss is about.
Thanks for subscribing.
