FIT TO BE TIED
Nominees for the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers’ 2009 Scribe Awards have been announced, honoring excellence in licensed novels based upon TV shows, movies and video games. Among them are Tod Goldberg’s BURN NOTICE: THE FIX, James Rollins’ INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, Matt Forbeck’s MUTANT CHRONICLES and Greg Cox’s UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS. Keith R.A. DeCandido will receive the Grandmaster Award at the ceremonies, to be held at July’s San Diego ComicCon.
FIRST ‘BASED’
BasedonBooks.net is a new movie review site run by University of Georgia students. Creator Julie Leung said, “It focuses on movies with literary origins, reviewing from the perspective of a person who has read the book. If you’ve ever had a favorite novel turn into an abominable mess onscreen, this blog is for you.”
SELF-PROMOTION CORNER
Yours truly provides the introduction to BONE CHILLER, a 140-page trade paperback, which collects eight stories from the first three issues of Heske Horror’s COLD BLOODED CHILLERS: TALES OF SUBURBAN MURDER & MALICE comic, plus two all-new extras: “Alibi,” an illustrated screenplay, and the mall-set “Shopper’s Nightmare,” which ends on an appropriate note of black humor. It’s available for purchase at IndyPlanet or as a digital download from Drive-Thru Comics. Writer Robert Heske will be autographing copies of BONE CHILLER, COLD BLOODED CHILLERS and THE NIGHT PROJECTIONIST on April 4 at Boston’s ComicCon. —Rod Lott
