No question, just wanted to say thanks for an amazing read. The Flight of the Silvers was brilliant. And tell your publishers to back off! Even though I am dying for book two, you should take your time. Wait, I do have a question: Have the rights been bought yet for a movie? Best, Helen

Hi Helen,
Thank you so much. I love it when people tell me to take my time. Such a nice contrast to the pressure I'm always putting on myself to get the book done ASAP! I still wish I was the kind of author who wrote shorter books, faster, but that doesn't seem to be the way I swing.
Luckily, the publisher's been very patient with me. They understand that it's better to get the book done right than fast. The good news: I'm finally nearing completion on "The Song of the Orphans." I'm just a hairsbreadth away from reaching the final chapter, and I feel very comfortable about the time I put into it. You can say many things about the novel (and the people on Goodreads will), but you can't call it rushed. The book will also clock in at well over 700 pages, so...yeah. Clear your schedule when it's ready.
As for the film/TV rights to my story, Radar Pictures currently owns them. They're very eager to turn the Silvers trilogy into a TV show and I'm right there with them. Of course, getting anything made in Hollywood is a long and fragile process. There's no telling what will happen, but my fingers are perpetually crossed. That's probably another reason why I write so slowly.

I just finished "The Flight of the Silvers"! It was not what I expected at all. Needless to say it was GREAT! I'm even more excited that the sequel seems to be on its way! Thanks for your gift! Now that I'm done gushing...actual question... Your characters are very vibrant and relatable. Do they mirror people you know personally or have met, or are they completely made up?

Just wanted to say, I LOVE FLIGHT OF THE SILVERS. I'm going to read Slick, even though it's a totally different kind of book, because I need something to do while I wait for the sequel. I sort of wish I hadn't found Flight of the Silvers for a few more years because the wait for the sequel is killing me :) Truly, truly gifted. Thanks for your work!
