The Heroines Optioned for Film

I'm happy to report that 3Arts Entertainment has optioned the film rights for The Heroines.  Actress Chloe Moretz (recently the 11-year-old assassin in Kick-Ass) will play the part of Penny.  I always knew the novel needed the right young actress to fulfill the part.  The next step for my agent, Alicia Gordon, of WME in Los Angeles, is finding a writer-director.  Then a studio.
