Ghostwriter: When Kate Michaels is offered a new project – to ghostwrite an intricate, violent novel about a mysterious killer — she knows it’s the last thing she needs to overcome her crippling anxiety. But she has no choice: she’s broke, isolated, nearly unemployable and the client, an idiosyncratic billionaire, insists she’s the only person he’ll work with. As they collaborate on the book, Kate finds herself growing dependent on her new client and increasingly sure that something is not quite right. As the novel’s plot comes to life, Kate comes to suspect that what they’re writing together isn’t fiction at all — it’s a memoir. When the murderous story she’s ghostwriting begins to blend with her reality, will anyone believe her? Ghostwriter is a cross between Silence of the Lambs and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Written by Alix Sobler, with Best Case Studios.

**The Followers:**A newly married pair of 20-something social-media influencers are traveling the world on their honeymoon - posing for aspirational photos - when their dream adventure gets interrupted by a pair of strangers following them. Days earlier, the couple had reluctantly, but naively, agreed to promote an online church; their lives are turned upside down from that point on. As they honeymoon through Europe, they are followed by a sinister force that is imitating their photos and framing them for murder. Fearing for their lives and reputations, the couple is forced to conduct their own manic investigation. The Followers tells the story of one couple—stand-ins for an entire generation—who live and die online. A fast-paced thriller that is part Hitchcock, part travelogue, The Followers is a cautionary tale about social media, and the reverse effect of influence. Written by Brett Neichin.
