For So Cold the River, Im actually working on adapting the book with Scott Silver, who was just nominated for an Oscar for The Fighter, and who also wrote 8 Mile, which I think is a terrific screenplay. The chance to work with Scott is a tremendous pleasure and Im learning a lot. – Michael Koryta
I made a very conscious effort to finish The Cypress House before So Cold the River launched, because I thought that would help build a buffer between my writing and any impact that came from either the success or the failure of that first book. – Michael Koryta
