Bone White coming to TV!

I'm thrilled to announce that my novel Bone White has been picked up for development for a TV series by Amazon Studios and Fox 21. Still too early for many details, but I've linked the Deadline press release below.

Thanks to everyone who's read it, reviewed it, and sent me such kind emails about the book! Happy reading...

Ronald Malfi answered Vedran Maras's question: First and foremost, thank you very much for your novels. I’ve read everything by King and McCammon, but your works are as good (if not better). My questions are: How many words do you write a day, and how many drafts did you go through for ‘Bone White’? How much different was the final draft from the first? Thanks in advance and all the best. As a fan of both King and McCammon, I'm humbled by your comparison. Generally, I write about 3,000 words a day, although I often skip some days then make up for it during a marathon writing session. I'm hoping to complete about twenty pages today,... See Full Answer

Quotes by Ronald Malfi

“I’m so sick of political correctness. I’m suffocated by it. We’re so goddamn politically correct that we lose our individualism, our definition as human beings. Don’t you agree?”
― Ronald Malfi, Snow

“It has been said that nature does not know extinction. In effect, it knows only change: nothing ever truly disappears, for there is always something—some part, some particle, some formidable semblance—left behind. You can boil water into vapor, but it hasn’t disappeared. Curiosity killed the cat, but condensation brought it back.”
― Ronald Malfi, Floating Staircase

“You can run away, but darkness has quick feet and large wings, and it will follow you...”
