My debut novel, Fate Ball, has been adapted into a screenplay. A producer/director is interested in buying the book and movie rights, so we are moving in that direction.

If all goes well Fate Ball should be on the silver screen by summer 2019. Very exciting times!

If you have not read Fate Ball yet, then grab a copy...ebook, paperback and hardcover available.

Thanks,
Adam

All,
After interest from several directors/producers in LA we are adapting Fate Ball into a screenplay. We hope to have the screenplay finished by early spring and will then shop it to these folks. Keep your fingers crossed that it works out and Fate Ball is on the silver screen in a few years.

Also, if you have not yet reviewed Fate Ball on Goodreads, Amazon, or both please do so.
Fate Ball

My first children's book, Cecil and the Big Wave, was just released. It's available through Goodreads, Amazon and it will be in local stores soon.

Cecil, the littlest ant, is teased and bullied because he is so small. He learns to surf from his Rastafarian uncle, Juba, and that helps build Cecil's confidence and self-esteem. This is a wonderful lesson for all children and the illustrations are fantastic.

It's appropriate for children from 2-12.

Please spread the word to your friends and family.

Thanks,

Goodreads friends,
If you have read Fate Ball, please review it on Goodreads and on Amazon. This helps get the word out to other readers and bookstores.

My next book is a children's book and it will be out this spring. It's called "Cecil, the littlest ant". It's about an ant who gains confidence by learning how to surf from his Rastafarian uncle, Juba. I think you will like it.

I hope to have my next novel done by the end of this year and on shelves by spring of 2018.

Happy New Year to all!

Thanks,
Adam

This holiday give the gift of books to those on your list...naughty or nice. Fate Ball is the perfect book for your friends and family who like a love story with a twist. Maybe add a mug and some some hot chocolate to the gift so they can create some instant curl up and read time. Happy Holidays!

Come join me tomorrow for wine and books as I read from my debut novel, Fate Ball. I'll be at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill on Thursday, August 25th from 7:00-8:30pm. Come out and support your local indie bookstore.

Hey everybody,

Today I was hosted as a guest writer at Southern Writers Magazine's blog called Suite T. The post discusses how writers (like myself) use facts from real life experiences in their writing. When and how you weave fact into your stories is important!

There is tons of other great advice on Suite T blog for ALL writers, not just for those who call the South "home."

How do you use facts in your writing? How do you embellish, or twist truth to use in fiction?
