Three years ago, Kensington Books released my debut novel, “142 Ostriches.” It was February of 2020 and if you didn’t read any of the great reviews it’s probably because there was another story dominating the news cycle… Because of COVID I didn’t get to do my official book tour, but I met so many wonderful book clubs through Zoom. If you were among those early readers – thank you!
Today, as we celebrate the third anniversary of my first “book baby,” I’m thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter.
From Page to Screen
I’m delighted to share that “142 Ostriches” is taking its first steps toward the silver screen. The novel is currently in preproduction for a film adaptation and I thought, just for fun, I’d share some of the concept art the filmmakers put together. (Spoiler alert – these images depict some of the most important moments in the story, so if you haven’t read it yet, maybe stop here and go get your hands on a copy.)
A Note of Gratitude
It’s so exciting to watch the story take on a new life, in a different format. It’s still in the early stages, but I promise to keep you updated with behind-the-scenes looks, casting news, and more as we embark on this cinematic journey.
Thank you for your love, enthusiasm, and support over the past three years. It means the world to me.
