Most authors dream of selling their books to Hollywood. I went the opposite route. I was trapped in the screenwriting job from hell, adapting a novel for warring producers and knowing full well the movie would never get made. I wrote The Harrowing one page at a time at night out of sheer rage and determination to get out of the film business. The book sold immediately and went on to be nominated for Bram Stoker (horror) and Anthony (mystery) awards. Lifesaving! - Alexandra Sokoloff
