March News
I thought I'd put some NORA news
in here!!
Lifetime Television will be making four of Nora's novels into Lifetime Original Movies. Bestselling titles presently being developed include: Blue Smoke, Carolina Moon, Montana Sky, The Villa, Brazen Virtue and River's End. Four of these will be selected for production.
Montana Sky is one my favorite books by Nora. I hope it's chosen for a movie. For more info click on her picture above.
I've added an extra spotlight effect to the opening page of this website. Place the cursor over the picture of the book and it lights up.
I've
added a very special and appropriate link to my Home Page for the Authors
Marketing Group. Jim Durkin author of In My Dreams taped a 30-minute episode of
“Outspoken with Karon Gibson” where the focus was AMG. It was scheduled to
begin appearing in Chicago the end of March on the public access channel.
The show also airs in Los Angeles and many of the Chicago suburbs.
Check your cable station for more details. Click on the TV for Jim's
site. Thank you to Jim for
mentioning my name and Falling Roses.
