I HAVE DECIDED that the adventures of Dakota & Svetlana are going to be a television series.

\nAs I helped a friend with his screenplay today, something occurred to me: Ever since I wrote the first Dakota Stevens mystery, A Real Piece of Work<\/em>, I\u2019ve always imagined Dakota and Svetlana as a TV series, where each novel takes place over the course of a season of 8\u201310 episodes.<\/p>\n

When I look at my TV viewing habits, for years I have been a keen student of series on Netflix, BBC, AMC, Showtime and HBO including Mad Men<\/em>, The Walking Dead<\/em>, Breaking Bad<\/em>, House of Cards<\/em>, The Sopranos<\/em>, Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/em>, Rome<\/em>, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt<\/em>, Lilyhammer<\/em>, Mr. Selfridge<\/em>, and Hell on Wheels<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The thing is, for years I\u2019ve always hoped that someone associated with TV production would magically read my novels and see their potential for a series. Up to now, however, this hope has been purely passive. I haven\u2019t taken active steps of my own to bring this about.<\/p>\n

Until now.<\/p>\n
