New Shows
Hi!
We're getting so very close to the release of Tiger's Quest! I'm very excited and can't wait! My first foreign publisher is getting ready to release Tiger's Curse. It's the UK paperback version printed under the publishing house called Hodder. Below is a picture of their covers. Kate Howard the Senior Editor of Hodder said, "The US covers are just so gorgeous we couldn't help ourselves!"

As you can see, they are keeping the art the same as the US version. I don't blame them since the art is so beautiful. They are releasing Tiger's Curse on May 26th and Tiger's Quest on June 9th and their version of Tiger's Voyage will hit the stores on November 10th. This will be great news for my English reading fans living in other parts of the world that have been waiting for a long time.
The Tiger Series is headed to Vietnam! Dong A Publishing has picked up the series and will be translating Curse, Quest, and Voyage into Vietnamese. The tigers are slowly spreading across Asia which is very exciting!
I was looking at the lineup of new network shows coming in the fall of 2011 because I'm getting a little desperate. I keep losing shows and not picking up any new ones, so this year I'm going to make an effort to get in at the beginning. Here's a list of some I'm interested in. I put stars by my favorites.
CBS-Person of Interest *
This is a JJ Abrams show written by The Dark Knight co-writer Jonah Nolan. The project, from Warner Bros. TV and Abrams' Bad Robot, centers on an ex-CIA hitman and a scientist who team up to prevent crimes before they happen.
(This one is getting a lot of buzz so I'm looking forward to it)
ABC-Once Upon a Time
The project is from "Lost" producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. The series will follow a woman who is drawn into a small town in Maine where fairy tales may be real. Ginnifer Goodwin, 32, will play Snow White/Sister Mary Margaret, who is a beautiful woman with dark hair and very pale skin. She has been placed under a spell by the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) and is brought back to life by Prince Charming.
(It may be too cheesy but I'm a sucker for fairy tales)
ABC-Poe
The project, from Warner Bros. TV and Lin Pictures, is a crime procedural following Edgar Allan Poe, the world's very first detective, as he uses unconventional methods to investigate dark mysteries in 1840s Boston.
(If it's done like the Sherlock Holmes movies it might be very good…don't think of Poe as a detective though)
ABC-Tim Allen Project
A comedy that focuses on a guy's guy who's surrounded by women. The storyline is still being adjusted, but the original logline spoke of a character who is "fighting for his manhood in a world that is being increasingly dominated by women."
(Tim Allen can be really funny if he has the right material)
FOX-The Finder
A "Bones" spinoff based on The Locator books written by Richard Greener, centers on Walter Sherman aka "the Locator", a former military policeman who can find anything. (I haven't watched Bones so this one may not work for me)
FOX-Locke & Key*
Locke & Key" begins with a tragedy when family patriarch Rendell Locke is murdered. His widow moves her three children to the Locke family mansion in Massachusetts, home to the kids' uncle. Once there, evil continues to haunt the family from across the miles and in their midst. The kids discover supernatural keys that unlock doors in Key House. The first key opens a door, and when Bode walks through it, he turns into a ghost.
(I love supernatural stuff unless it's too scary…there's good buzz about this one too)
FOX-Touch*
The show, about a dad (Kiefer Sutherland) who learns his autistic, mute son can predict the future, is the first pilot script from Tim Kring since he wrote Heroes. (Love Kiefer, supernatural stuff, and Heroes so I have high hopes)

NBC-17th Precinct*
Described as "an adult Harry Potter." The show is "an ensemble cop drama with supernatural elements," taking place in the mystical town of Excelsior where science takes a backseat to magic.
(Buzz about this…it sounds fun)
NBC-Wonder Woman *
The David E. Kelley's reboot of the popular DC Comics franchise stars Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, a successful corporate executive working to balance the elements of her complicated life.
(I watched the original and thought if I twirled hard enough, I'd get my red and blue costume—guess I needed more twirling)
NBC-Grimm
NBC has begun production of its first network show that will be set and produced in Portland. The show will be a drama called "Grimm," as in Grimm's Fairy Tales. It's a pilot about a detective who starts seeing certain people as beasts and then discovers that his calling in life is to protect other people from them.
(Since they're filming in Portland, I have to give it a try)
CW-Awakening
Awakening is a zombie drama "which centers on two sisters who come of age and face off against one another amidst the beginning of a zombie uprising."
(Not really sure how I feel about this one. Could be fun)
CW-Secret Circle *
The CW's new pilot Secret Circle is based on the book series authored by The Vampire Diaries scribe L.J. Smith. "The Secret Circle" is a series of books about witches. A 16 year old girl named Cassie moves, with her mother, to New Salem, Massachusetts. Her new high school is ruled by a group of girls known as 'The Club'. The girls in The Club are witches, descended from the original Salem witches, and Cassie is a witch herself.
(I haven't read this series yet but Vamp Diaries has some amazing writers so this could be as good)
Those are my picks for the fall. Do you have any favorites or want to add more? Let me know which show sounds the most interesting to you. Have a great week!
