So they’ve finally announced it in Variety–Sweep might become a movie. Here’s a link for more info:

I don’t know much more than you do, at this point–Alloy, which owns half of Sweep, made the deal. But I really love the screenwriter they’ve hired for the adaptation–he adapted one of my favorite movies, Chocolat, and has done several other terrific movies, so I feel like I’m in good hands.
But I don’t know anything about the schedule or timeline or casting–I won’t be involved in any of that. The author usually isn’t, unless they’re much bigger and more powerful than I am!
Thanks to everyone’s good wishes, and for all the excited tweets and posts! It’s so gratifying to see!
What’s really perplexed me is all the negative comments on some of the film sites, with people hating on Sweep without having read any of them, and saying it’s just like Harry Potter and Twilight. It’s so weird! Why don’t they read one of them first? Then they can hate on it if they want. It’s the dissing without knowing what they’re talking about that’s freaking me out.
But anyway: Sweep movie, possibly. Many things can still not work out. But my fingers are crossed. Thanks so much for all your support!
Ran across the series by accident and now I’m hooked.
Was hoping for a continuation of sweep audiobooks but a movie, we there yet? Good luck

I found the books picked up the first two and was hooked half way thouth the first one I got my cuzins and mom in to reading then I love them. Cate I have read harry potter and they are not close sweep is about wiches and harry is wizards I was so hoping for a movies so looking forward to it!
My cousin found the first two books and let my sister and I read them. And we were hooked within the first chapter. We just can’t wait for the movie to come out. My cousin and I even tried to write a screen write for it, lol. As for the comment about harry potter and twilight series. I have read all the harry potter books and this is nothing like it. Yes, they are both about witch craft. But harry is in a completely different world, while sweep in based in the real world, using a common belief about the wiccan heritage.
I loved the series, and every book had me anxious for more.
I have gone back to reading the series time and time again. I’m 32 and I enjoy these books, I’d love to see a film based on the series
I really do think the author of a book should be included in the casting of actors. I mean, they’re the ones who knew about their characters. Anyways, Sweep is indeed “Magickal”.
I really want to own the whole separate books, from book 1- 15, but I think they’re out-of-stock. So maybe just the 5 Volumes. The ones I’m reading was my classmate’s, and I’m really jealous of her having such great books, but thankful that she convinced me into reading Sweep. At first, I wasn’t that too eager to look into it, but after reading the first five chapters, I couldn’t stop myself anymore!! Hahaha. I’m really looking forward to the movie and I hope they won’t cancel it.
had seen these books by accident and now m an sweep addict…… just wanted to know if balefire is available in india’s crossword… most preferably Delhi
XOXO catetierman….

I just finished reading the last room and I cried ! It was soo sad and beautiful and mind bobbling I couldn’t put the book down ! I really wished there were more tp the series its sad letting it end here !!!
