Jodi Picoult has been busy traveling through America, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and South Africa. "I finally returned home last summer...not quite sure if my children would even remember who i was," says Picoult about her long world tour. I have been viewing Picoult's own newsletter page for her fans and find it very interesting and helpful for my own research. Picoult basically blogs about whats new with her writing and talk about future books that she is in the process of writing. She recently discussed her latest film news. My Sister's Keeper continues to inch along in development at New Line Cinema. A script has been written and got excellent coverage meaning everyone pretty much liked it. Also, another one of her novels, Keeping Faith has been optioned by Lifetime television. They are also looking to replicate the success of the book, Plain Truth, their most watched movide of 2004. This news is exciting for Picoult and she is definitely gaining more readers as a result. I plan to watch these movies and incorporate them to my final project.
