Fingers crossed!

Much excitement this week! I was contacted by a US film company about my romantic comedy, Molly’s Millions. My first published novel, Flights of Angels, was made into a film in Germany last year and it would be so exciting to see another of my books adapted. We’re keeping all fingers crossed here!

I’ve just discovered a lovely little showreel for actress, Maren Scheel. It features clips from the film adaptation of my book, Flights of Angels which was published in Germany as Unter deinem Stern and filmed as Himmlischer Besuch für Lisa. The angels look so cute!

A very exciting month as the adaptation of my German novel, Unter deinem Stern, was shown on SAT 1 as Himmlischer Besuch für Lisa. We’ve just been sent a copy on DVD and it’s lovely – really sweet and magical. I’m so proud to have inspired such a gorgeous film! It was even shown on the silver screen at the Biberach film festival in Germany and, as my husband and I made an appearance in it ourselves, I think we can now officially call ourselves movie stars!

Egmont Party

There was also the Egmont party at the London Transport Museum – a lively gathering of children’s writers and illustrators where we all got to behave like children for the evening – jumping on and off old buses and ancient trains.

We also went into hiding for a fortnight in beautiful Devon and Cornwall. Here’s a pic of me and Molly at the magical monument, Men an Tol in Penwith.

And, at long last, I’ve finished writing my magical romance, The Curious Collection. Just editing it now and making sure it’s all in order, and then I’m going to get straight on with a new romantic comedy – more about that soon!

There’s a special page for this month’s journal. Click here to read about our visit to the Unter deinem Stern film set. We had a fabulous time meeting the team that is turning my first novel into a film for television. I so enjoyed my first trip to Berlin, seeing everything from Checkpoint Charlie to beautiful Charlottenburg.

Well, it’s BIG news this month. My first novel, Flights of Angels, (Unter deinem Stern) is going to be made into a TV movie by Ziegler Film! As you can imagine, I’m very excited and can’t wait to find out more. I think it’s every writer’s dream to see their story adapted and to see their characters come to life. Watch this space for more in the near future…

I’ve been getting back into my romantic novel, The Curious Collection, and it seems to be going well although I’m writing it in a very odd order. At the moment, I’m rather obsessed with a subplot involving my heroine’s sister and writing all of those scenes first. Oh, well, it seems to be working so I’m not going to question it!
