GalleyCat reports that there seems to be a flurry of books being adapted into TV series. In addition to the midseason shows LOVE MONKEY (based on the book by Kyle Smith) and EMILY’S REASONS WHY NOT (based on the book by Carrie Gerlach), there’s more on tap. DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER (based on the book by Jeff Linsay) is being developed by HBO and YOUNGER (based on the book by Pamela Satran) is being developed for Lifetime by my friend Debra Martin Chase, who sold the same network MISSING (based on the books by Meg Cabot) and produced the book-based features SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS and PRINCESS DIARIES.
Actually, I would imagine they have their aides do all the reading.
I think this is wonderful. And they can start with books written by, uh, me.
Best,

Now if only we could get a TV series based on _My Gun Has Bullets_, right? However, you’d probably have to cut out the scenes of Miss Agatha’s interrogation techniques.
