WICKED THE MOVIE! THANK YOU, DREAMWORKS!
Thanks to all of you who cast spells, said prayers, and thought good thoughts for us. We are thrilled to be able to announce that DreamWorks has acquired the rights to the Wicked series!
We are listed as Breaking News!
And from the press release:
DreamWorks Studios Acquires Rights to Young Adult Book Series “Wicked”
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DreamWorks Studios has acquired the rights to the young adult book series “Wicked” it was announced today by Mark Sourian and Holly Bario, Co-Presidents of Production for the studio. Aaron and Matthew Benay have signed on to write the adaptation based on their own pitch. The Gotham Group will produce.
A New York Times bestselling series and published by Simon & Schuster, “Wicked” is a five book series written by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguié. The first two books, “Witch” and “Curse,” were published in 2002, followed by “Legacy” and “Spellbound” in 2003. The fifth book, “Resurrection,” was published this past summer.
Story follows the journey of a young woman who learns she is a descendent of a powerful coven of witches. Complications arise when she falls in love with a boy who turns out to be a member of a rival coven sworn to destroy her family.
“’Wicked’ has all the elements for a great movie–adventure, mystery, star-crossed lovers, bitter enemies, and the supernatural,” said Mark Sourian. “Aaron and Matthew came in with an intriguing take on the books and a story that we feel will really speak to all audiences.”
Aaron and Matthew Benay, who are brothers, wrote the script for “1906,” which Pixar, Warner Brothers, and director Brad Bird are readying for release in 2012.
Best-selling author Nancy Holder has published sixty books and more than two hundred short stories. She has received four Bram Stoker awards for fiction from the Horror Writers Association, and her books have been translated into more than two dozen languages. She has written or co-written twenty Buffy and Angel projects based on the characters from the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” film and television series.
Debbie Viguié is author of the Once upon a Time novels “Scarlet Moon” and “Midnight Pearls,” as well as the Sweet Seasons novels “The Summer of Cotton Candy,” “The Fall of Candy Corn,” “The Winter of Candy Canes,” and “The Spring of Candy Apples.”

Thank you, Undercover Book Lover!
From Reggie Writes at Undercover Book Lover! For Debbie and my story in THE ETERNAL KISS, edited by our wonderful vampireditor, Trisha Telep:
Out of all the thirteen (my lucky number!) though, there was one. One story that stood out and has me craving for more…
*drum roll please*…
Passing by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguié! This rocking duo writes an explosive, action-packed, and cute, paranormally romantic short story! It’s an all-in-one perfect package; Passing has everything a vampire read should have. Antonio and Jenn were two characters in the middle of a ‘war’ with the vampires. Jenn is confused with her feelings and she has to choose between Antonio or Jack. Jack has a secret, but mysterious and brooding Antonio has more…
More is coming! “Passing” is the first peek at our new S&S series, CRUSADE

WICKED RESURRECTION IN HARDBACK?
Thank you so much for all the email asking if there is a hardback version of WICKED RESURRECTION. So far, there isn’t one, but if we keep getting email, maybe that will change. (You may recall that it was all the email plus great sales of WICKED 1 and 2 that resulted in WICKED: RESURRECTION!)
This is OUR month, the month of Samhain. Blessed Be and Merry Meet on these special nights!
XOX,
Nancy
