LAKE ANN -- A Lake Ann entrepreneur debuts a new iPhone app designed to help Traverse City visitors get connected to the area's best destinations.
In her 38 years--Brandy Wheeler has already accomplished more than most. She's the mother of two and the owner of a popular marketing service called 'Mealtickets & Unusual Ideas."
And now with her creation of the 'Traverse-Traveler' iPhone app she can add entrepreneur to her resume.
Wheeler says, "The 'Traverse Traveler' app has been a great way for me to keep up with the technology demands of my customers and as a small business owner. I try really hard to meet my customer's needs."
Three months ago Wheeler teamed up with a developer to get the free 'Traverse Traveler' iPhone app in motion.
And now this convenient, interactive resource is available to help visitors connect with the area's hottest destinations--like wineries, restaurants, and events.
But with thousands of similar apps out there what sets this application apart?
Wheeler says, "It's written by locals either by myself or by the businesses that are submitting their information so you know as a visitor you're getting local authentic information."
The app is packed with unique features like the 'Near Me' icon which pinpoints the 25 listings closest to the iPhone user.
Wheeler explains, "If you're in Suttons Bay and looking for a restaurant for the evening you can touch the near me and it will pop up with everything that's near by."
Wheeler says the app's maps and directions make it easy to get around, "Trying to navigate you're way from one winery to another in northern Michigan is not an easy task especially when your trying to get there the fastest with back roads so this will take you from point a to point b and show you the exact path you need."
'Traverse Traveler' also allow you to utilize social networking.
"If you're at a winery and you've just tasted a really great wine and you want to let you friends know about it you can post it right from the app to Facebook or Twitter," Wheeler says.
The release of the app is just in time for the holiday rush.
Wheeler says, "You have a lot of people who are traveling up to northern Michigan for vacations, Christmas break, they want to go skiing or take their kids tubing or skating and they can use this app as a resource to find that information."
Any business looking to promote their services to tourist are encouraged to head to the 'Traverse Traveler' website and register for free to get a listing.
Also to download the application you can go to the Apple website or to the 'Traverse Traveler' website.

A friend of mine, Jana, did a reading for me. Below are the results and what she said might be helpful for your life as well.
Hello Na'ven!!! I am finished!!! Hooray!!! ;p I attached all of the images/messages/oracle cards that I recieved for your reading. I have two attachments I have to send in a separate email. First off, I intuitive pick a marker to do my guided writing/drawing for readings and I picked a forest green for you. :) This indicates to me that you are working with your heart chakra right now. It is opening wide and healing at this time. Keep up the good work sending unconditional love to yourself and others!!! :) I am going to type out a brief summary of the reading here also. 1) I saw the image of a snow flake with a line coming out the bottom of it. It reminds me of a snow flake wand :) I see you emitting pure crystalline energy and you have the energy of a snow queen!!! 2) I saw an image that looks like a symbol of a stick figure airplane. This feels like the symbol of travel. You will be travelling a great distance very soon either physically or astrally. Pack light!!! Get rid of extra baggage on all levels!!! 3) Wake up and smell the roses(or coffee or both) [I actually heard wake up and smell the roses/coffee at the same time] Slow down and be aware of everything around you now. Be present, grounded and centered. Go out in nature to achieve this. 4) I focused on hearing from your arcturian family and friends. I started writing really fast for this one..... "Greetings, Blessings and warm wishes Na'ven!!! We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of you!!! You are handling your mission perfectly!!! You look good in your Na'ven suit! (lol!) You need to keep doing what you are doing by having fun and raising your vibrations along with everyone's around you! Salutations Friend!!! Keep your head up!!! (up to the sky!) We are looking down on you and loving you SOOOOOOOOOOO Freakin' much!!! [insert symbol I drew in attachment] Blessings to you from your loving family of starseeds " 5) Keep making waves to splash in!!! You basically revolve around water....it's how you connect to this world, how you meditate, how you center yourself and flow and receive your insights. I keep getting that you are crystalline, a pure being of light refracting rainbows through your prismatic heart. :) [#5 ties in with #1] (Then I drew a peace sign with a heart around it and rainbow wings coming out from it.I just forgot to color the wings rainbow colors before I attached it to this email) 6) Pulled 3 cards from Doreen Virtue's Healing with the fairies oracle cards since this reading was very fun, whimsical and to me had lots of fairy energy. :) While shuffling the cards, I saw a symbol of the letter R inside of a cartoonish looking balloon tree. I took that the R = Rainbow??? I will let you see what you feel about this symbol that I drew. I asked the question "What does Na'ven need to know right now?" while shuffling. I pulled 1) Laughter 2) Miracle Healing 3) Letting Go The last two cards meanings from the book are attached in a separate email. I hope you enjoy this reading and it helps you on your path. Let me know if you have any questions or comments relating to this reading. Have a Beautiful weekend Na'ven!!!! Lots of Love!!! Jana

Hi! This comment is about your post "Here's an intuitive reading that explains a lot about me and could help you in your life as well", I just wanted to comment on it because I really enjoy your youtube channel and recently came to your website and this was the first article I read and it strangely connected to me as well. My niece who I have been trying to spend more time with lately has a little toy wand that looks just like the one in the picture. And I am curious about what you mean when you said "(Ex. My heart and my left ankle bone and such. Yeah, that and spirit. lol.)" because the strangest thing is that I rolled my left ankle some time back and have continually been having problems with it untill just recently when after rolling it again a few times I seem to have rolled it back into place. LOL And I have a tattoo of a rainbow on that ankle that I got with my mom when I was eighteen years old, so I also have a connection with that. Also I really enjoyed what you said about being a fairy because I have these strange vissions or memories of dancing around naked in the woods as a fairy too!! lol. N E Way just wanted to say Hi and to leave you a positive comment! Hope you respond I really enjoy your youtube vids and think it would be cool to maybe exchange emails or something. Peace and Love :)
Such cute videos. Enjoy!

That was just too precious. I loved it! Thanks. It had a twitterpating affect on me ..lol
A friend of mine was wondering who was living in her hair and she said that she felt her head tingling and could see them almost every time she took a picture of them. She kept saying she wanted to get them enhanced and I decided to enhance them for her. So, below are both the original pictures and the enhanced pictures as well. I only thumb nailed the best ones so the page will load faster. There are over 70 of them available for download in an archive or you can view them via the link below. I numbered them from the best shots to the ones you can barely see anything in. This is the girl who has fairies in her hair. <-- Sounds kind of like a fairy tale, doesn't it? lol (Pun not originally intended.) Here's a quote from one lady's 10 year old son. It's cute.
Mom, they could be gigantic head-lice becoming so enlightened! What can happen Mom, if she combs them out? Are they itchy??
Keywords: fairies, hair, pictures
I just looked at all of them-WOw!! You did an amazing job in making them easier for people to see.Thank-You!
TO Funny! Wish you could have knocked some age of my face during all the enhancing!!!I am probably going to go down in history as the lady with super messy hair that the faires thought was a big bush!!!! The funny part is even though it all looks like my hair it is not-its like they extended out energy and it makes my hair look wild and full of split ends.Thanks.
lol Sorry about that. It would take me an extra 5-20 minutes to do it and I didn't think it was necessary as it wasn't the premise of the enhancements. Besides, its just your shell anyway, right?
I found a beautiful movie involving hydro-sonics. (Sound/water healing?) Dolphins are swimming with the people and the people are using hydro-sonics to play with the dolphins. Plus they use the same healing hydro-sonics on other people as well. Its an interesting and beautiful movie. Enjoy!

3D is a realm of duality, and 4D is the last density that has duality available to it. This means that 5D+ do not have negativity in them by way of physics. However, even in 3D/4D duality, Earth was made as a place of pure free will where no matter what it is, you could experience it. Earth is a very unique place and that uniqueness was one of the reasons the dark ones enslaved humanity and made it so humanity here would turn against each other instead of living in harmony like the days of old. Many of us here are older than humanity on Earth or have at least lived on a 5D world for a time. Where I come from in the Arcturian star system (Yes Arcturus is our star just like the Sun is to Earth and we live on a world orbiting it if we're in 5D.) we value the oldest souls for their knowledge and us older souls carry great responsibility to help the younger souls to develop spiritually so they can grow to where we are and beyond. Our people live in 5D, 6D, 7D, 8D, and 9D, so not all of us are on our 5D planets. Some of us, like myself, are from 6D and we hop from world to world through focused consciousness and help the people wherever we go. So, there are many MANY places who are not controlled by negativity in any regard. The dark ones' planets and the ones they enslave are a VERY rare thing. Keep in mind that love is the core element of everything in existence, so to be as degenerated as the dark ones, is a very hard thing to do. Its like pudding with mold on it. The pudding is still there, but over time its molecular structure changes more and more and bacteria grows there as well. So, yes its still pudding, but its been tainted so much that it eventually will not look, taste, smell, feel, or sound like pudding anymore. This is the same as with the negative and positive vibrations. Fear and darkness is just a corrupted version of love, but keep in mind that like the pudding example that gives itself to aid in new life, negativity can help you to grow spiritually as well.

If there is anything that a person really needs to have sound knowledge of before purchasing, it is a snowmobile.
A snowmobile is simply a machine used to glide over snows. It is the machine used for the great snowmobiling sport, a sport that is done on the snow during the snowy season, winter precisely. You normally enjoy the sight of different snowmobilers with their protective kits and their colorful machines glide over the white snow.
Why do you need to have a sound knowledge of snowmobiles before buying them? Snowmobiles are not just like the normal vehicles you see around. In fact, most of them are obvious environmental pollutants. Serious alarm has been raised concerning this and because of it, some snowmobile manufacturers have started manufacturing snowmobiles with exhausts that don't pollute the environment. Such snowmobiles are said to be on sale now. So this is the first and the most important thing you should consider before buying a snowmobile.
- Non-pollutant engine: Purchase snowmobiles that are not environmental pollutants. It is not difficult to find them, as manufacturers of these types of snowmobiles normally proclaim around their snowmobiles for people to know. You will not want to be a part of the environmental pollutions causing some health problems in the society.
- Number of Engine Stroke: The snowmobiles normally associated with environmental pollution are those having a two-stroke engine. If research and recent polls are anything to respect, then it is better to purchase a snowmobile engine having a four-stroke engine. One of the reasons the four-stroke engine snowmobile was built was to terminate the environmental pollutions problems attributed to that of the two-stroke. Though it is not easy to change snowmobiles immediately, most snowmobilers are changing to that of the four-stroke engine.
- Type: In snowmobiling, we have trailing, racing, and climbing of the mountain. Some snowmobiles cannot do all of this. So in making a snowmobile purchase, you will have to buy the one that suits the type of snowmobiling you do.

More About The Oxford Companion to Italian Food by Gillian RileyWhat is a BARGAIN Item?
Bargain items can be brand-new products that our buyers have purchased from publishers at incredibly low prices. We pass these savings - sometimes as much as 80% off an item's list price - along to you.
Bargain items can also be publisher overstocks or other special purchases, so there might be a few scratches, marks or dented corners. There might also be a sticker on the item from the publisher. Regardless, Books-A-Million does not ship defective items.
Our selection of bargain books changes hourly, and quantities are limited, so shop now and shop often. Due to unpredictable demand, it is possible for us to oversell the available quantity of a bargain item. In such cases, we will promptly cancel your order and your credit card will not be charged.

This project explores a new technique for optical sensing through thin form-factor displays. It allows for detection of fingers and other physical objects close to or on the display surface. This essentially allows us to turn a regular LCD into a sensing surface that can be used for multi-touch and tangible computing applications. We are interested in both the underlying hardware and software aspects of this approach as well as the interaction techniques and application scenarios it enables.

News After 35 years of running Ambroplastics, Tom Teichmann is retiring as Managing Director. On Friday 22nd October, the current management team completed an MBO to buy Tom's controlling share of Ambro. The team, consisting of Paul Kelly, Production Director, Chris Corbett, Sales Manager, Darren Yates, Production Manager and myself, former Sales and Marketing Director, have worked hard to agree a deal that suits all parties, and really sees Ambroplastics in a very strong position to continue as market leader in the Presentation Product industry. Tom will continue to have an active role in the company, concentrating on the financial aspects, which have always been his primary focus, as well as certain special projects, for a period of up to three years, on a part time basis. 35 years is a long time to have been in the driving seat, and Tom's experience, calm approach, and level head will be missed. However, Tom recognises the need for new blood and a more youthful approach being required to drive the company on. Whilst Tom will be around for some time, there is no question that he will be missed by us all, but there is also a great deal of excitement moving forward. All that remains is to thank Tom for his dedication to Ambro, and leaving the company in such a healthy state, and wish him luck for the future. Ambro have introduced a select range of stock that can be printed and despatched within 5 days from receipt of order, artwork and payment. To check out prices and see further details click here.
Ambro have introduced 700 micron opaline (natural frosted) polypropylene as an alternative to the standard 800 micron thickness.
700 micron polyprop has been used by some other manufacturers for some time under the guise of 'medium weight'. Ambro will now offer 700 micron in an effort to keep prices down during this period of rapidly increasing polymer costs. 700 micron will be a good alternative in many instances where, traditionally, 800 micron was used. Small capacity A4 Ring Binders and Wallets would work well with this reduced thickness, as would all the smaller sizes. 800 micron will of course, remain our standard gauge for standard applications. If you want to know more please ask for samples. It's well worth trying if it does the job and saves you money. Ambroplastics have been selected as finalists of the Shropshire Business Awards 2010, in the Technology, Enterprise and Innovation category, which is a great achievement as the awards were the most competitive ever held. Ambro recognised that it had to develop unique products and capibilities in order to maintain growth in an otherwise stagnant market.
Managing Director, Tom Teichmann, said "We have used traditional folding and gluing technology (used in the packaging industry for the production of cartons,) and adapted our machinery, processes and tools so that folding and gluing technology can be used for presentation products such as wallets and folders. We have also developed our own machinery for thermal welding on to polypropylene in order to adapt this process to volume production." To see more glued products click here, and for examples of thermo welding click here Ambroplastics have pioneered an new production technology for welded pockets and overlays for polypropylene. Binders, wallets and folders with welded pockets are now more economical than the outdated method of using self adhesive pockets. And it gets better: Ambro are now producing white, clear frosted and coloured polypropylene presentation binders, with clear pockets for inserting print on front cover and spine.
Recycled Products Ambro have introduced a new range of recycled polypropylene products. The range is marketed under the name 'Pol-eco'. All pol-eco products are 100% recycled (post industrial) and are carbon neutral. Click here for more information on our recycled products
Our stock range is now available, and you can click here to view our comprehensive Stock Price List. Most stock products can be supplied just a few days after we receive your order. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the sales office.

How we know God is good for us

If you have children, you know that they are not very good at hiding their emotions, especially when they are very young. This is particularly true when it comes to food.
God does not give up on us

Success, at least in my mind, means being secure. I want to be secure from worries about money, work, health, family, etc. I imagine a future of stress-free bliss, where I am protected from any physical or emotional harm.
Generosity in abundance
Friday, 27 July 2012 00:00
In today's Gospel reading, Jesus takes a few loaves of bread and feeds some 5,000 hungry followers who have tracked him out into the country. It is a miracle of stunning proportions, and leaves people shocked and confused. How did he do this? What kind of teacher is this?

(Pulling from the archives today with an updated post on marketing, which is always a popular rerun. New tips added as well as some explanation why the old tips might not apply anymore)
When I sold my first novel back in 2008, I knew I'd have to do some marketing to help promote it, but like many debut authors, I had no clue what I'd need to do. A website certainly, probably a blog, some kind of social network like Facebook or MySpace (yes, MySpace). Beyond that? I had no idea.
Jump ahead a few years, and authors doing their own promotion is expected, if not required. It's even more critical for indie published authors. But the publishing business had changed and what worked a few years ago is less effective, or even a waste of time now.
This hasn't changed. A website is still a must in today's publishing world. Many agents and editors Google potential authors, so having a website while querying indicates professionalism. Which means you want it to look professional as well.Things to include:
- Your bio, photo, ways to contact you (email, Twitter handle, etc)
- A little about the book if you'd like (if you worry someone will steal your idea, it's okay to leave it off)
- Any credits or information that aids you in your agent quest and makes you look like a professional writer they'd want to work with. Organizations you belong to, etc
- Your book cover, blurb about the book, plus the ISBN number and publisher
- Your bio, photo, ways to contact you (email, Twitter handle, etc)
- Any good reviews you get. (Snippets are fine)
- Links to where people can buy the book
- Links so the media can download high and low resolution files of your photo and the cover
- A longer bio is not uncommon
- Trivia facts and a little bit of fun if your genre lends itself to that
- Contact information for your agent, publisher, and marketing and publicity people (your publisher will likely assign these folks to you, but you might even hire some of your own)
- Your author or book tagline
This has changed a little. Current industry opinion: with so many blogs out there now, they're not as effective as they once were, and it's harder to stand out and get noticed.Blogs are great ways to interact and connect with readers, and you can set one up in a matter of minutes and be on your way (Blogger and WordPress are the most common sites). They can require a lot of upkeep to maintain, though, so consider how much time you can spend on one before you start.
If you enjoy blogging, go for it, but if the thought of blogging makes your flesh crawl, just don't do it. Put your efforts into something you enjoy.
If you do blog:
- Offer content readers want to read about
- Find something you can regularly blog about that would be of interest to the people you hope might buy your book. If you write historicals, perhaps blog about the period you write in. Or if you use recipes, talk about food and cooking. Write about something you love that has nothing to do with your book, but slip in book stuff from time to time
- Pick a blogging schedule that works for you. It doesn't have to be every day and slow blogging can be very effective (just as Anne Allen)
- Blog to connect with readers, not to promote. It's okay to promote your book once in a while, but no one wants to come back to read PR gunk all the time.
Social Media
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Good Reads, Google+. There are tons of sites out there for both writers and readers.Most sites are easy to set up, but like blogging, they can take maintenance to stay connected. They're not as intensive as blogging though, so they could be a happy medium to staying connected without spending all your time doing it.
Sites like Facebook and Twitter are more interactive and require input on a regular basis to be effective. Google+ offers video hangouts, which adds another layer of social interaction. More passive sites like Goodreads allow you to connect with readers and don't take as much upkeep (though there are ways to be more interactive if you want). These sites also all provide things for people to find when they Google you, which is always a bonus.
Social media tips:
- Social media is about connecting and being social, not spamming "buy my stuff"
- Be yourself, be professional, and be nice
- If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't say it online. The internet is forever
- It can take time to figure out which social media site fits your personality and style and how to be effective on it
- Use your author's name. "WriterJay" might fit my personality, but it's not going to help me get my name out there or build my author brand
Forums and Online Groups
Writer's forums like Absolute Write, Backspace and WANAtribe offer wonderful communities that can be both supportive, and lead to great opportunities down the road. However, you can't just start posting and expect everyone to flock to you. You need to join before your books come out, get to know folks and become part of the community first.And mean it, not just fake it. These groups can smell a poser a mile away, and no one is going to help someone who's clearly there to market themselves or their book. But for those who make an effort to help others, and have done so long before they sold their book, many are delighted to help. It can take time to stay involved, but if you don't enjoy it, or feel you have nothing to offer, don't frustrate yourself by trying.
There are pros and cons to printing business cards, bookmarks, and postcards. Some people love them, others say they wind up in the trash as soon as the event is over. It's easy (and cheap) to get materials printed, so the amount of stuff handed out at events is high, which makes it even harder to stand out.
Business Cards
These used to be optional, but now they're a must. Writers meet too many people and having something to hand them to remember you is a great marketing tool. Moo Cards (those smaller business cards) are also quite popular. A quick web search can find multiple printers and prices to fit your budget.
I created four-sided fold-over cards that show my entire trilogy, and contain all the important information. These are great to hand out when people ask about my book, or I meet someone at a conference.I don't go anywhere without them.
Bookmarks also get a lot of mixed feelings. I've done them, but I'm not sure how useful they are. They tend to be large and not easily fit into pockets or conference badges, and I see a lot of bookmarks left behind or in the trash at events. On the pro side, bookmarks are larger than cards and for more information about the book. They can be fun swag for giveaway or signings as well.They're also easy to leave on freebie tables or in key locations.
Postcards are like bookmarks in a lot of ways, but I like them a little better. They're nice for swag bags (bigger so they don't get as lost and hold up better), and during my school visits, students like them because they can get my autograph.
If you have multiple books or also want to promote a blog, two-sided cards are handy.
Other Swag
Swag can take many forms, from buttons to pencils, to key chains and wrist bands. One of my favorites was finding book-branded lip balm in my goodie bag at a conference. Very useful since cons tend to be dry. However, while I enjoyed it and used it, I couldn't tell you what book it was for. As nice as it was, it didn't make a book sale with me.
And that's the risk with all swag.
During a marketing workshop, I heard an author say swag is more for the fans than new readers and I wholeheartedly agree. It's a treat to reward fans, but don't expect it to create a book sale.
With any swag, it's a good idea to weigh the cost per item versus the benefit gained. It's easy to spend the whole profit per book (or more) on swag, which doesn't make financial sense.
Taglines are becoming more and more popular as authors brand themselves and their books. Taglines are the "Just Do It" slogan for a book or an author.My book pitch is: The Shifter is the story of Nya, a war orphan with the unique ability to shift pain from person to person, and when her little sister goes missing, it turns out to be the only weapon she has to save her.
My tagline copy: "Sister. Healer. Deadly Weapon. Nya has a secret she must never tell. A gift she must never use. A world she must never question. And a sister whose life depends on her doing all three."
This is something I use on all my marketing pieces. It's longer than a basic tagline, but it's punchy and hopefully intrigues enough to grab attention.
Marketing Prep Work
Months before a book comes out, it's a good idea to start preparing. That way, you'll have lists and suggestion ready to implement if you're doing your own marketing, or hand to your publisher if you're assigned a publicist.
Research online sites you want to contact. If you're not sure who to look for, try Googling a book in your market like yours and see where it showed up. That'll give you a good start on the places that you might want to approach.
Make a list of all the bookstores in the area for possible signings. Remember that bookstores like having authors there because they draw in customers, so be careful not to have signings close to each other that would cannibalize off the same customer base. You want to help the bookstores, not rob them of customers.
If applicable, find schools and libraries that you could visit or join an event.
Prepare some guest blogs so if an opportunity arises, you're ready to go. Also try reading some author interviews and familiarize yourself with common questions so you'll have answers when you get asked for an interview. Often you'll get similar questions so think about different spins or details so each interview offers something new. That way readers won't get the same information every time.

Get ready for a rare astronomical and sky watching event Tuesday—the passage of the planet Venus across the face of the sun.
Locally, the transit will begin at about 3:04 p.m. It will be visible in its entirety only from the western Pacific, eastern Asia, eastern Australia and at high northern latitudes.
Transits of Venus are rare, happening in pairs eight years apart, with each pair separated by more than a hundred years. This June's transit, the bookend of a 2004-2012 pair, won't be repeated until the year 2117, according to the NASA website.
NASA will webcast it from the summit of Mauna Kea, HI. Click here for Venus transit of 2012 tips on how to see Venus cross the face of the sun.
Over a seven-hour span, Venus will trek across the solar disk, appearing in silhouette as a slow-moving, tiny black dot—weather permitting—according to the NASA website.
"Only six such events have occurred since the invention of the telescope," said astrophysicist Sten Odenwald, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, in a statement.
The key to watching it is to find an unobstructed view of the horizon. It is recommended observers watch from the top of a high building. The transit will occur near the lower rim of the sun, according to NASA.
The transit will be visible to the naked eye but experts say it's . Use eclipse shades or a telescope lens filter.
The transit will be shown on NASA TV, which is available on many cable and satellite transmission systems, and on NASA TV's website.

Production Begins on A LONG WAY DOWN; Rosamund Pike and Sam Neill Join Cast, Plus First Image Released
by Adam Chitwood Posted 1 year, 80 days ago
Filming has commenced on director Pascal Chaumeil's (Heartbreaker) adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel A Long Way Down. The story revolves around a group of strangers who coincidentally meet on the top of a London skyscraper on New Year's Eve where they individually had gone to commit suicide. The four strangers make a pact to stay alive until Valentine's Day at least, and the story follows this group of unlikely friends "as they try to pull back from the brink." The ensemble cast includes Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Aaron Paul, and Imogen Poots, with Sam Neill and Rosamund Pike (Pride and Prejudice) also signing on.
The four central strangers are played by Brosnan, Collette, Paul, and Poots, who are set as a once-beloved TV personality, single mother, failed musician turned pizza-delivery boy and a "sassy teen" respectively. Hornby is the author behind such great works as High Fidelity, About a Boy and Fever Pitch, so the source material is a solid foundation. Jack Thorne (How I Live Now) wrote the screenplay and production is taking place in England and Spain. Hit the jump to read the full press release (which includes a synopsis) and to check out the first image.
