There is a dream that some authors have – to have their work adapted for another medium. That could be seeing their work on stage, in film, or influence the writing of a song. There are other authors that prefer to have their book left in novel form for readers to enjoy it as it was originally told.

Count me in the first category.

I am overjoyed, freaked out, and a little afraid to even share that my novel MISSING has been optioned to be adapted into a film. The amount of feelings rushing through me are almost too much to describe. I am well aware that many indie authors (several that I know) have been optioned in the past and for one reason or another, projects don’t always see the light of day. So I am attempting to look at it all with a clear prospective.

But F$%$^ it! I’m freaking excited!!!

The filmmaker is in love with the book and she is working with the screenwriter who is doing the adapting. I am not one of those authors that think every single word that I wrote should appear on screen and I am excited and eager to see what they come up with in how they view the story.

I am extremely thankful and feel blessed to have this moment even occur. There are so many people I would love to thank for even making this opportunity available, but for now…I’ll keep quiet and just say a huge thanks to the filmmaker for falling in love with my characters, the message in the story, and I sooo look forward to seeing your vision.
