From PR Newswire

 

Simon & Schuster Audio is proud to announce that Kara Hayward will narrate Tonya Hurley's highly anticipated audiobook THE BLESSED, due out September 25, 2012. The audiobook will be available as an unabridged digital download.

Hayward starred as "Suzy," the daughter of Bill Murray & Frances McDormand, in Wes Anderson's recent blockbuster MOONRISE KINGDOM. She was cast in this part following her very first audition and her performance continues to receive critical acclaim and even Oscar buzz.
"I couldn't be happier to narrate THE BLESSED," says Hayward. "I'm really enjoying all the new experiences I'm having as a young actress and recording this audiobook has been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to the next audiobook in the series. I love this story and the world that Tonya has created."
Hurley, the New York Times bestselling author of the ghostgirl series, has worked in nearly every aspect of teen entertainment: creating, writing, and producing two hit TV series including SO LITTLE TIME (ABC Family); writing and directing several acclaimed independent films; and developing a groundbreaking collection of video games for PlayStation 2 and GameBoy among others.
"I was absolutely thrilled when I learned Kara was going to be narrating THE BLESSED audiobook," remarks Hurley. "I can't think of a better young actress to take this story on. Kara is incredibly talented and I know fans are going to love her performance."
THE BLESSED audiobook will feature original music composed and performed by legendary Depeche Mode, Yaz and Erasure co-founder Vince Clarke. The pioneering synthpop artist, songwriter, producer, and programmer has previously collaborated with Hurley on music for her bestselling ghostgirl audio series and on the current book trailer for THE BLESSED.
In THE BLESSED, the first installment in Hurley's latest trilogy, Hayward gives voice to Agnes, Cecilia, and Lucy, three lost girls battling their own personal demons. Agnes' recent break-up has landed her in the hospital with cuts on her wrists while Cecilia's love of music has fueled trading her self-respect for warm bed or paying gig. Lucy's "It Girl" status has her bold-faced name appearing regularly in the tabloids, but her superficial lifestyle only makes her feel more empty and alone. Their paths cross one night when they end up in the same hospital and each wake up with a token from Sebastian, a mysterious boy they've only just met. As they become wrapped up in finding out just who Sebastian is, they each discover their own strengths, and realize the only way to save themselves is to save each other.
THE BLESSED will also be available in print and as an ebook from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. For more information on the audiobook, visit: http://pages.simonandschuster.com/the-blessed-audiobook/ .

From PR Newswire

Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), a leading global entertainment company, has optioned the book "Take a Shot! The Remarkable Story of Perseverance, Friendship and A Really Crazy Adventure" (Hay House, August 15, 2012) by NY Times and Wall St. Journal bestselling author Jake Steinfeld and Dave Morrow, for its television division, the Company announced today. Jake is best known for his Body by Jake Global brand; Dave Morrow is a former All-American lacrosse player and founder of Warrior Sports.
Described as MONEYBALL meets THE HANGOVER, Take A Shot! tells the tale of three men from vastly different worlds- Jake, the brash Hollywood fitness icon and driving force behind Major League Lacrosse; Dave, a shy Ivy Leaguer from blue-collar Detroit and the ultimate fish out of water who ultimately becomes a success story in his own right; and Tim Robertson, the son of a televangelist and a multimedia mogul-who teamed up to try the impossible: start a professional sports league at a time when other leagues were crashing and burning around them.

The book chronicles the true story of their wild search for investors and team owners, the setbacks that nearly derailed the league time and again and the emotional and triumphant debut of Major League Lacrosse, the first professional outdoor lacrosse league. Their roller coaster ride blends humor, inside sports intrigue and inspirational life lessons along the way. Lionsgate has optioned the book for development into a dramatic television series.

"We love to be in business with other entrepreneurs, and Jake Steinfeld is a larger than life personality and a hugely successful entrepreneur whose book has resonance for sports fans, adrenaline junkies and people who love success stores alike," said Lionsgate Television Group President Kevin Beggs and Lionsgate Television COO Sandra Stern. "Jake tells a riveting story that we believe can translate into equally compelling television programming consistent with the Lionsgate brand." In addition to being the founder of Major League Lacrosse, Steinfeld is the entrepreneur who built the highly successful worldwide fitness empire, Body by Jake Global.

He launched America's first 24-hour fitness and lifestyle cable network, FiT TV, and recently launched the multiplatform www.FitOrbit.com, revolutionizing the fitness industry for the digital age. He serves as a motivational speaker and has appeared in movies ranging from COMING TO AMERICA and THE MONEY PIT to YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE and INTO THE NIGHT and starred in the sitcom BIG BROTHER JAKE on The Family Channel.

Jake has also made a significant contribution to fighting childhood obesity and building children's self-esteem as chair of the National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils. Morrow started Warrior Sports in his Princeton dorm room where he was an All-American lacrosse superstar and later, under Jake's mentorship, sold the company to New Balance; it has since become the largest lacrosse brand in the world, with expansion into hockey and soccer. Lacrosse has become the fastest growing team sport in the USA.
