Three Souls Optioned for Film
Authors for Indies 2015

Dragon Springs Road Finally in Editing!
May 18, 2016W We came back from vacation and there in that pile of mail was the contract and payment for the film option for Three Souls!
It's a long, long way from film option to production, as described in the blog About Books and Film Options, so for now I will just say that the producer is an award-winning Canadian producer and director. There was another interested party, but this producer was by far more passionately in love with the project. She also said the magic words: "looking for stories with strong women characters."
It's a great compliment for Three Souls, and should the project progress to the stage where the producer wants my input, it will be a great learning experience. I wonder whether she would be open to a Bollywood+Chinese martial arts fusion treatment of the novel ... OK, maybe not.

This is so exciting! I am reading “Three Souls” right now (July 2020) and am absolutely loving it. I woke up this morning and realized it would make an outstanding film. I hope things are moving forward with the film project. If not and your book is available to be optioned again, I would love to connect with you. I am a Canadian screenwriter who is passionate about sharing stories about strong women. I am also fascinated with the afterlife 🙂
Take care & thank you for writing this beautiful book,
Maryanne Pope
