Little Fortress Optioned for Film

It’s been, quite literally, years since I’ve updated this section of my website. I know you understand. I was in the air on my flight to Toronto to the Kobzar Book Awards when the Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic. Since then…it’s been a ride, hasn’t it?

Part of my ride has been signing a contract on an option for the film adaptation of Little Fortress with the indpendent Canadian film production company, Serial Comma. I was so thrilled to receive the option that I broke out in sobs — and then spent three months going back and forth on the small print. This was not because of the small print, so much as my inability to get anything done in a timely fashion.

I was able to Keep on Keeping On (my motto of the last couple of years) in my role first as Program Coordinator, now as Curator, at the Vernon Museum & Archives. Able, somehow, to keep up with the maintenance of the Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary with my family. Even able to begin a new novel. But, to get a contract sorted & signed? I did, eventually, and I wish said contract God Speed. May it go out & garner Little Fortress a film deal! For all the years that the ladies, Sveva, Ofelia & Miss Juul, were in seclusion, I imagine they’d want their stories to travel through time to more people.
