Book trailer for The Rising
Next
Saturday, March 2, Kelley Armstrong
will be my guest speaker at the How to
Write a Bestseller workshop in Oakville (see here).
She’ll also be a guest speaker at a workshop Saturday, September 28, most
likely in Guelph. I don’t usually book my guest speakers that far in advance,
but Kelley is a New York Times bestselling author and this year, she’s even
busier than usual.
In
April, her publishers will release The
Rising, a new urban fantasy out for teens (see the trailor above), followed in May by Loki’s Wolves, her first middle-grade novel, followed in August by Omens, a gothic novel for adults, with Wild Justice, a straight thriller (no
supernatural elements) rounding out the year in November.
And
if all that weren’t enough, Bitten, a 13-part television series based on Kelley’s
Women of the Otherworld series starts shooting this spring.
Here’s
the story from the Hollywood reporter (with a bit extra from the media release)…
Bitten - thirteen part TV series from the Space Channel
TORONTO –
Canada's Space sci-fi channel has placed a full-season order for Bitten,
a one hour drama about a female werewolf.
The 13-part
man vs. beast series from Vancouver producers No Equal Entertainment and
Hoodwink Entertainment and Toronto’s Entertainment One is based on the Kelley
Armstrong book series Women of the Otherworld.
The series,
executive produced by J.B. Sugar, is to start production in Spring
2013 in Toronto.
Set in
Toronto and upper New York State, Bitten portrays the world of
28-year-old Elena Michaels, the world’s only female werewolf who thought she’d
found her one true love, Clayton.
But one
small bite has her normal life vanish, leaving Elena to survive life living in
a pack.
“I
could not be more thrilled about this. A writer always hopes her stories will
live on after the last word is written, and now Elena's will, finding fresh
life in a new form,” said Armstrong.
“Kelley
Armstrong’s novels contain a rich world, compelling characters, and a deep
mythology from which to build a dynamic television series,” Sugar, executive
producer of No Equal Entertainment, said of the erotically-charged series.
