Have any studios approached you about movie rights to "Flight of the Silvers"? As I was reading it, I kept thinking it would make a great movie, and I was hoping somebody had bought it from you so I would get to see it in a theater!

Hi Jennifer,
Radar Pictures currently holds the film/TV rights to the Silvers trilogy, with the full intention of turning it into a TV show. Progress is slowly being made on that front, but it's still a long and tenuous process. Getting anything made in Hollywood is a mile-long tightrope walk. The production company has barely begun the whole pitching/packaging/schmoozing part.
As for the movie option, everyone involved with the project agrees that "The Flight of the Silvers" just too damn big to fit into a two-hour movie, or even a pair of two-hour movies. The book itself is sort of episodic in nature. A TV format would give the story and characters much more room to breathe, in my opinion.
It's still a huge uphill climb (wait, didn't I just call it a tightrope walk?), but I'm guardedly optimistic. In the meantime, all I can do is keep plugging away at the novels. I expect the "Song of the Orphans" edits to take me through the summer. Then, Lord help me, I'm moving on the third and final book of the series.

I just discovered, and read in its entirety in only a few days, The Flight Of The Silvers and I am HOOKED! I was so excited to see that there is a second book, only to find that it is not yet released. Though it is only a couple of months away I am truly dreading everyday until this book can be released. It has risen all the way to the top of my favorites and reread lists. No questions, just an eager fan! Thanks! ?

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?
