From the Detroit Free Press: U-M and MSU create a State of Euphoria

The Blues have it. No. Wait. The Greens. The Greens have it, don't they? Or is it the Blues? Well, the beauty of today's basketball feast is that we don't have to pick. Michigan can win. Michigan State can win. There is no "either." There is no "or."

The never-before might happen by tonight. Our two biggest college basketball programs could reach the Final Four - together.

How's that for a "state" of affairs?

#TheFirstPhoneCallfromHeaven...the movie! I am really happy to work with Warners Bros. They are a gold standard in the movie business, and if we were going to make the leap to big screen, why not with the best? From the moment I wrote the last word, I sort of felt the book had a feature film life to come, and I am thrilled that Warners and the hugely-accomplished Denise Denovi see it the same way. Can't wait to get started. http://www.deadline.com/tag/the-first-phone-call-from-heaven/
