I couldn't be happier that Lifetime has just offered to make an original film of 'Still Summer.'
The producer involved is a woman of great ingenuity and integrity and is passionate about the projects she acquires, so, although it's entirely possible that this film may never be made, its much more likely that it will.
Although many writers dread the prospect of a film -- especially a TV film -- being made from their novels, I think that much of the most creative and edgy work in movies is taking place right now on the small screen. Many top actors also are doing some amazing work in TV films today.
And so, lash yourself to the mast and close your eyes and cross your fingers.
If we have a 'Still Summer' premiere party, you're all invited!
yours,
Jackie M.

I visited your website for the first time today. I am currently reading "A Second Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul" and saw your entry (1998). I just wanted to say congratulations on your success and I wish you all the best!

Hi, Jackie! I began reading Still Summer last week (on a cruise!), and I'm loving it. As a fellow writer (21 books for children and the new "The Hip Grandma's Handbook"), I've followed your career for a long time and have always loved your writing. Can't wait to see the Still Summer movie! I'm writing a screenplay based upon the Amish school shootings, and hope that it sees the screen - big or small.
Best,
