The Lost Husband MOVIE opens in theaters APRIL 10 !!!! !!!! !!!!!

Y’all, it’s happening! My novel The Lost Husband is becoming a movie!!

Watch the trailer!

The film stars Leslie Bibb as Libby, Josh Duhamel as O’Connor, Nora Dunn as Aunt Jean, and Sharon Lawrence as Libby’s mom, Marsha. More on the cast here.

Writer/Director Vicky Wight of Six Foot Pictures (read a Q&A with Vicky HERE) kindly invited me to come be an extra in the movie (in the farmers’ market scene), and here are a few shots I took on the day I got to visit the set:

 

(That’s O’Connor’s truck, by the way!)

 

The movie is slated to hit theaters in April of 2020. I haven’t seen the trailer yet, but when it’s up, I’ll post it here. In the meantime, here are a few stills from the film!

And yeah, that last one is me—attempting to act! Such a wonderfully trippy moment: Buying goat cheese at a farmers’ market from a character I created! Absolutely bananas. THE BEST.

 

Here are a few photos that the actors and production company put up on Instagram during shooting.
