Here's the fantastic band Black Prairie performing their gorgeous score for the Storm in the Barn play. This music couldn't be more perfect for my book and I'm am deeply indebted to these fine musicians.
They are currently on tour. Go see them because they are amazing and you'll love them. I just know it.
Oregon Children's Theater just released the press images for the play adaptation of The Storm in the Barn (it opens in late April). I'm rather beside myself with happiness. Look at that barn!
Here's the
link to OCT if you want to see bigger photos, learn more about the theater, or, you know, buy some tickets to the show. I'll be in Portland for the opening weekend. See you there?

I am thrilled to announce that the Oregon Children's Theatre will be mounting a stage version of The Storm in the Barn in April of 2012! My book will be adapted by playwright Eric Coble (who's previous credits include an adaptation of Lois Lowry's The Giver for OCT) and will feature music composed by Chris Funk (guitarist for The Decemberists) and his band Black Prairie. Storm is in fine hands and I cannot wait to see this production!
The plan is for this to be a play with music, not a musical. For more on
Black Prairie (and to see why they are perfect for this) check out this
piece from NPR. Better still, listen to their album
Feast of the Hunter's Moon. It only took me a few seconds of Track 1 to be utterly convinced.
The show will run from April 28-May 20, 2012. I'm sure I'll be posting more about this as it develops (although my actual role is limited). I can guarantee you I'll be in the audience on opening night. Who's up for a trip to Portland?
(I'm reposting this for a few reasons: 1) I knew about this for awhile, but couldn't announce it. When I wrote the draft of the blog post, I assumed it would take the date of when it was posted. I assumed incorrectly. 2) The draft was written on April Fool's Day. This isn't a joke. 3) It's so cool, it deserves two postings.)

That is RAD.
RAD is short for RADICAL and is something we used to say in the EIGHTIES.
I wish someone would turn one of MY books into a play.
I wish I lived in Oregon!!!!
It is RAD. It may even be BOSS. Smekday might have some technical difficulties, but Fat Vampire would work. Maybe I'll casually leave some copies at the theater...
