BREAKING NEWS-LETTER

Hi everyone – Got some big updates for you, as I’m counting down two weeks till the publication of Change of Heart.

FIRST:

To whet your appetite, take a look at the video trailer for Change of Heart:

the video trailer for Change of Heart

(Flash required.)

SECOND:

On pub day, March 4, you can expect not just books on the shelf, but new information on my website – including three new podcasts.

THIRD:

Film news: The Fanning sisters have dropped out of My Sister’s Keeper, because Dakota Fanning, who was cast as Kate, did not want to shave her head. Now playing Anna: Abigail Breslin of LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and DEFINITELY, MAYBE (playing now in theaters). Kate will be played by Sofia Vassilieva, who plays the oldest daughter on the NBC television show “Medium.” News that’s not so great: as it stands right now, the director plans to change the ending of the film so that it’s different from the book. More on that later – I’m fighting valiantly to keep that from happening.

The Lifetime TV movie of The Tenth Circle will air on June 21.

FOURTH:

Now in paperback: Nineteen Minutes! For educators interested in using the book in the classroom, there is also a curriculum on my website that was used as part of a leadership conference in CT.
