Pinch me, is this really my life?
Jill Gillett and Flora Hackett have been behind some of the greatest book-to-movie adaptations of the last ten years, and now they're on board to take my Dexter + Killing Eve sapphic serial killer novel into the TV space.
Can't wait to see what happens next!✨

Yup, those are my notes in dry erase on the windshield so I can call all my reps on my morning drive.

I wanted more things for writers to DO when they're still dying to share the book that meant so much to them.
And I've finally come up with some ideas that can give you closure...or a fresh start for your old idea. 👀

You guys. I went to The Materialists expecting a fun but shallow rich guy/poor guy rom-com. What I got was so much more.
The acting is nuanced & gravitational: impossible to look away from. And the characterization is confident, takes its time & is absolutely fascinating.
Something really fresh!

Of course, I must report more cheating...I AM reading Ripple Effect by Maggie North before the rest of my TBR Challenge books, because my spleen would fly out of my body in protest if I had this book in my hands and didn't read it immediately.
