So they've finally announced it in Variety–Sweep might become a movie. Here's a link for more info:

I don't know much more than you do, at this point–Alloy, which owns half of Sweep, made the deal. But I really love the screenwriter they've hired for the adaptation–he adapted one of my favorite movies, Chocolat, and has done several other terrific movies, so I feel like I'm in good hands.

But I don't know anything about the schedule or timeline or casting–I won't be involved in any of that. The author usually isn't, unless they're much bigger and more powerful than I am!

Thanks to everyone's good wishes, and for all the excited tweets and posts! It's so gratifying to see!

What's really perplexed me is all the negative comments on some of the film sites, with people hating on Sweep without having read any of them, and saying it's just like Harry Potter and Twilight. It's so weird! Why don't they read one of them first? Then they can hate on it if they want. It's the dissing without knowing what they're talking about that's freaking me out.

But anyway: Sweep movie, possibly. Many things can still not work out. But my fingers are crossed. Thanks so much for all your support!
