Rob Sawyer, a Canadian SF writer and MR member, has sold "Flash Forward" to ABC for Fall production. Rob hangs out here on occasion and has had some interesting insights to the art of writing. I know Rob from my days back in Compuserve's SFSig. I can't think of a nicer guy for this to happen to.
Here is the full scoop.
Flash Forward is available on the
Kindle, but not at Fictionwise. It is the story of what happens when the entire human race blanks out for over two minutes and wakes up with "memories" of six months into the future and the social upheaval that takes place afterward.
