I’ve finally released a paperback edition of my novella Fast Track…twelve years after I released the ebook edition. Why the long wait? Because it wasn’t until recently that people started asking me for a hard-copy version. I think it may have something to do with the paperback releases of my Crown Vic novellas.
Fast Track is a project close to my heart. It’s a novelization of my screenplay for the 2007 film Fast Track: No Limits, which was shot in Berlin, starred Erin Cahill as Katie, Andrew Walker as Mike and Alexia Barlier as Nicole, and doubled as the pilot for a proposed television series.
The movie was an international co-production that aired on television in Germany, France and Canada, and was released as a motion picture in many other countries around the world. For a while, things were looking good for the series. The production partners assembled a writers room, and the stories for the first season’s episodes were plotted. But international co-productions are a complicated business, the deal fell apart, and the TV series didn’t go forward. Erin Cahill and Andrew Walker went on to great success, especially on the Hallmark Channel, where they have each starred in many movies. Alexia Barlier became a major TV star in France, where she’s starred in several hit series, including Falco, The Forest, and Sophie Cross. And Pasquale Aleardi, who played Gregor Gargolov, most recently starred in the long-running German series Kommissar Dupin. I am pleased to say that we have all stayed in touch over the last twenty years and have remained good friends.
If you’d like to see the movie Fast Track: No Limits, it’s now available on Amazon Prime or on DVD from Maverick Entertainment Group.
