Fantastic news for fans of Kelley Armstrong. Bell Media just announced that Bitten is getting made into a 13 hour drama for the television station Space in Canada. That means we’ll be getting some live Clay & Elena action! Now if only we can get it in the US.
“This sexy new series is the perfect mix of suspense, action and heart, with compelling storylines and a really strong female lead,” said Corrie Coe, Senior Vice-President, Independent Production, Bell Media. “We’re very excited to work with No Equal Entertainment, Hoodwink Entertainment, and eOne to bring this best-selling novel series to the screen.”
“I could not be more thrilled about this. A writer always hopes her stories will live on after the last word is written, and now Elena’s will, finding fresh life in a new form,” said Armstrong.
Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s Beautiful Creatures is currently in production for the silver screen and Screen Crush is sharing a glimpse of the leading characters and a few details. The ebook of Beautiful Creatures is currently available for $3.99.

Did you miss the chance to head to New Orleans for the Authors After Dark convention earlier this month?
