Two film deals for ITW Debut Authors were announced this week at Publisher's Marketplace.
Stuart Neville's THE GHOSTS OF BELFAST aka THE TWELVE, was optioned to Craig Ferguson, by Joel Gotler of the Intellectual Property Group on behalf of Nat Sobel of Sobel Weber Associates.
John Rector's THE COLD KISS, pitched as THE GETAWAY meets A SIMPLE PLAN, was optioned to Jane Startz (ELLA ENCHANTED/ THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD) with Kane Lee of JSP co-producing and Ole Bornedal (NIGHTWATCH/JUST ANOTHER LOVE STORY) to direct, by Allan Guthrie of Jenny Brown Associates.
Congratulations to both!
Thriller author Andrew Grant was born and raised in Birmingham. Birmingham, England. Back home they cheer enthusiastically and with gusto for their local football teams. The rivalries are well documented.
Grant is coming to Birmingham. Birmingham, Alabama. His speaking engagement at MURDER IN THE MAGIC CITY writers conference on February 6 at Homewood Library will serve as his inaugural visit to the Iron City. He'll surely find attendees buzzing with their own sporting chants of "Roll Tide" and "Bama Number One."
Grant's debut thriller EVEN (St. Martin's Minotaur) was released last summer and received worldwide praise. His name has begun being spoken in the same discussions with the top thriller/suspense wordsmiths. The book will be re-released in mass market paperback in March. His second book in this (British naval intelligence officer) David Trevellyan series--DIE TWICE--follows in May. At the conference he will discuss his work and the writing craft. Today Grant resides in Sheffield, England--which happens to be known as The Steel City--and Chicago.
