Lifetime Television is also considering a hourlong drama pilot called
"Fiona" which is based on the Fiona
Fitzgerald character, a blueblood-turned-urban police detective, created in
a series of mystery books by Warren Adler.
Ilana Bar-Din is the writer; Dan Blatt is exec producer.

Novel's plot dead on
March 12, 2001 —
HE'S billing it as
fiction, but the plot of the next book from best-selling author Warren Adler
will seem like a documentary to the well-heeled residents of Palm Beach. Due in
July, "Mourning
Glory" is
all about a broke but beautiful woman looking for a wealthy husband in the
Florida enclave.
Her spouse-hunting
technique involves going to the funerals of rich old ladies and helping their
bereaved widowers clean out the closets filled with couture clothes. (I know of
at least three women who'll say Adler's based his book on them.) Hollywood
interest is huge - Warren's 23 novels are all movie-ready, as witness "War
of the Roses" - and this story of a glamorous grifter can't miss.

Travis says that bestselling author Warren Adler's new book MOURNING
GLORY (Kensington), coming in July, "will seem like a documentary to
the well-heeled residents of Palm Beach." It's about a beautiful
gold-digger on the prowl, and Travis says "Hollywood interest is
huge."
And as we were recently
told, Adler, author of War of the Roses
and Random Hearts among 23 others, is
also in the midst of an ambitious effort to publish his own work electronically
and through POD [Print on Demand]. He now controls rights to all of his previous
novels and is offering them in a variety of formats
through his site, warrenadler.com. He
expects that strong promotion for the new book will help drive interest in his
other works (and, perhaps, that his innovative backlist efforts will help drive
sales of his new works).
