Walking through the world of Potter magic

What a treat to be able to walk through the world of Harry Potter starting this spring. The park is jumping to attract hoards of eager fans who want to live the magic AND purchase some take-home treasures. What can I say, I wouldn’t pass up this chance to pretend that I’m wizard…even if it does mean that I am buying in.

Anyone wanna meet me for a butterbeer at The Three Broomsticks? A battle with the Chinese Fireball coaster?

Check out the official Universal Orlando site for more info and preview videos.

All I can say is, be prepared to stand in A LOT of lines.

New Naamah book in June

Oh yes. The next Jacqueline Carey book will hit the stands in June.

I need to keep my schedule clear… oh gawsh.

New Yorker blogger gives Wishbone a nod

I was an avid Wishbone watcher. I saw him don a beard in Rip Van Winkle and also challenge the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera.

So, you can imagine how excited I was to see this interview on The Book Bench.

What’s the story, Wishbone? Woof!

Behind the Times

I am reading an awesome book right now. John Connolly’s The Book of Lost Things is an interesting take on the popular theme of a world in which reality and fairy tales collide.

As I was turning a page, I found myself imagining what a movie adaptation of the book would be like. I popped on the interweb and, low and behold, a movie version is already en route. Due out in 2009.

I would say I have a knack for recognizing when a book has movie potential, but all my insight bubbles up years after the book’s actual release. However, I am not discouraged. Nope. My fingers are still crossed for a Spellman Family film.

What about a new fantasy flick? What fan wouldn’t be excited for a screen version for Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel’s Legacy or Santa Olivia?

Although, screen adaptations sometimes bomb. Hmm…don’t know how I feel about that prospect.
