I’m so happy to announce our dear friend Jodi Thomas wrote the book Ransom Canyon in 2015 and it’s coming to Netflix this Thursday, April 17th! This has been several years in the making since she and Hollywood producer Dan Angel began talking.
Ransom Canyon the book is a compelling, emotional series set in a small West Texas town where family can be made by choice rather than by blood. Staten Kirkland is a rugged and practical rancher who’s having a secret affair with Quinn O’Grady, a woman with secrets of her own. The lives, loves, and ambitions of four families converge in a story that’s hard to forget.
I don’t know about you, but I can hardly wait. This is going to be excellent. And we only have two more days to wait!
Here are the actors:
I’m thrilled for Miss Jodi. She wrote a fantastic series that is so memorable that I can still recall the characters and storylines after ten years. There are so many great story people but Yancy Grey has always lived in my heart.
Here’s the book trailer in case you aren’t convinced yet.
Are you excited yet? I sure am!
Have you read the book? Here’s how it opens:
“Staten Kirkland lowered the brim of his felt Resistol hat as he turned into the wind. The hat was about to live up to its name.”
A true story. After this book came out, the Resistol company sent Jodi their top of the line western hat for women. Here she is wearing it. I always thought that was a cool story.
I may have to dig my copy of Ransom Canyon out and reread it. What do you like most about books that are translated onto the big screen? My favorite thing is watching the characters come alive. Do you plan to watch it?
