Thank You!

Thank you so much for all your suggestions (many of them sent to my via email or on my Myspace blog) and for getting them to me so quickly! I researched every one of your actress suggestions (and your actor picks for Anatoly). So many of them would be perfect for the roles. I've submitted my favorites in a pitch to certain vaguely interested parties so we'll see what happens.

Please keep in mind there is no movie deal at this point. There hasn't even been an option, just talk of one. If it does get optioned and a cast is picked it could still not get made. Anyone familiar with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series? Evanovich is a 1000 times more successful than I am. Her books have been optioned several times. The last time they pegged Reese Witherspoon to play the role of Stephanie...and then the option was dropped and the movie was never made. Fashionistas (another Red Dress Ink book) was optioned and Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan were both on board and the movie never got made. So while I want all of you to cross your fingers for me I don't want to give you any false assurances.

But I can assure you of this....Sophie is staying in San Francisco. I may write other stand-alone titles (along the lines of So Much For My Happy Ending) that are set in LA but SF will always be my true home and it will always be the literal home of Sophie. The good news is that I'll need to visit SF a lot to do my research and that's a business expense aka tax deduction.

Other than that, things are going well here in sunny LA. We are just coming out of a heat wave where it was 106-108 degrees ever day for over a week. In other words it was kind of like living in a sauna. My son got a heat rash all over his body and I stumbled around addle brained trying not to pass out. In fact my brain was so fried that I actually locked my son and myself out of our apartment and had to call one of those 24 hour lock places. Not one of my finer moments.

Tonight I'm off to a Trina Turk party. It should be fun although I don't own any Trina Turk but hopefully they won't cross me off the guest list if I show up in Vivienne Tam.
