I have a Dream...

I have this little dream that some day one of my books will be turned into a movie (I realise I have yet to have a full length novel published, but this is my fantasy!!!) I know how long the odds are, even if a book piques a producer's interest it's no guarantee of anything... but! Still, it's a nice dream I think?

Well, I was thrilled to discover that this has recently happened to a lovely writing buddy! And for her debut novel at that!

Fox are going ahead with the adaptation of Phillipa Ashley's Decent Exposure, published by Little Black Dress, for their Lifetime channel. The location's been changed from the Lake District to the Rocky Mountains and retitled The Twelve Men of Christmas, and it's all very exciting!!!

Oh, and it also proves that these trillion to one shots can and do happen!!!

Congratulations, Phillipa!!!

Wow, that's great. She must be excited. I guess I'll dream about the day for me...

Yes they do! I've never dreamed that big. I'd be happy to publish my Blazes and my UF and a couple erotic shorts, then I'll start thinking about the movie deals. LOL

Great news for Philipa! :)

Thanks for the congrats, Christina.

Cari - I didn't dream that big either - definitely *not.* The producer picked up the book from Amazon UK - event though he was in LA so it is a chance in a million. You just don't know what will happen.
