Submitted by Chelsea on January 16, 2019 - 8:37pm

We finally have a US premier date for GONE, the TV show based on my book, ONE KICK. First episode airs at 9PM on Wednesday, Feb 27th, on WGN-America.

Check out the trailer here: https://deadline.com/2019/01/gone-trailer-premiere-date-for-wgn-america-...

You're probably like, "BUT I DON'T GET WGN-AMERICA, Chelsea! In fact I do not have a television set or cable and I watch all my shows via streaming apps on my phone! WHAT SHOULD I DO?"

This is a good question. Keep your chin up. Once the show airs on WGN-America, it will be available via apps - I'm SURE there is a WGN app? - or on Netflix or iTunes or other -say it with me - LEGITIMATE - streaming services. They know what we like.

I can't wait to watch this show with all of you.

Submitted by Chelsea on May 12, 2017 - 6:44pm

More opportunities to be an extra in the Kick Lannigan TV show (AKA: Gone), based on my book, ONE KICK. They are filming 12 episodes in the Pittsburgh area, from now through September.

Side note: I assume the casting agents are looking for "a bunch of men" to play FBI/COPS because they have already cast "a bunch of women" FBI/COPS. *knocks head against desk*

Anyway, here's this - copying below:

FX is developing Heartsick for TV

Submitted by Chelsea on May 9, 2012 - 9:05am

Start making room on your DVRs -- FX is developing Heartsick for television. I am over the moon about this. FX makes some awesome TV. Justified. American Horror Story. Sons of Anarchy. These people clearly buy fake blood in bulk and know how to use it. The plan is for Heartsick to be season one, season two would be Sweetheart, etc. They would be short seasons, like 13 episodes. Mikko Alanne is adapting. He's terrific. Trust me, he knows the characters as well as I do, and he's a true fan of the books. So I'm thrilled! We'll see if it gets carried all the way to fruition. They still have to make the pilot, and then pick up the pilot. (Details!) But it's a great team and I think they're going to pull it off. You know, there have been various movie deals for the property over the years, non of which have made it past script development. But I've always thought it would make a better TV show because it allows more (and slower) development of characters and plot. Plus, it would give me an excuse to watch more TV, so there's that. Will I be able to write off my cable bill now?
