Someone explain to me why none of McCammon's books haven't been turned into a major motion picture. I've read around half of his works and everyone would work so well as a movie. His writing style is so vivid, I completely see the entire scene in my mind in such a clear manner it shocks me nobody in Hollywood hasn't pushed for his works to turn into movies.

I know he has some books optioned, but even Spider-Man took 20 years to happen (thankfully though). He does have a Twilight Zone episode under his belt but that's really it. Fan films arent't the same but there's a handful out there.

Mine is an amazing action and revenge plot set in modern day 90s where Laura Claybourne has her 2-day old baby kidnapped by a 60's radical Mary Terral aka Mary Terror. Mary has seen a sign to get her old activist group back together and bring the leader - Lord Jack - his baby.

Through messages and old friends, she learns Jack is living in California and makes a trek there. Laura with no help from the police takes it upon herself to find her baby. Come hell or high water, she follows Mary in her destructive wake across the country on road trip like I've never read.

Mine never stops going or pauses for reflection or flashbacks. It's in your face violence and action makes this such a fun ride. Both women are girls I'd never want to mess with - tough as nails to the very end.
