This is similar to Daithi's thread... but I figure, why should famous authors have all the fun? Do you know of an independent author who's turned out a book that would make a great movie?

This isn't just to gain some traction off of DuckieTigger's shout out in the other thread (but thanks again!): In fact, I've been thinking about converting one or more of my novels into screenplays for the past year. I've got a good idea which ones would be best, and I just have to make the time to do the script conversion. I'm sure there are other books out there (and more importantly, floating around here) that could do with a cinematic treatment... and who knows? A mention here might convince that author to give it a shot.

So, tell us what indie books you'd like to see made into a movie. Feel free to tell us why you think it would be a good candidate, as well.
