DESCRIPTION:
(from Ovation TV's press release, October 2015) In a rare instance of an independent, print-on-demand novel series signed straight to network, Ovation, America's only arts network, has inked Joel Eisenberg and Steve Hillard, creators of the eight-volume fantasy saga The Chronicles of Ara, to a comprehensive development deal. The structure of the deal encompasses an 8-hour miniseries based on the first two novels, Creation and Perdition, with an option to exploit the remaining books for a possible ongoing series and further spin-offs. The series is about a muse who inspires all of art and invention, Ara, who is corrupted upon a tragic loss. "Our logline springs from there," says Eisenberg. "The end of the world begins when man is betrayed by his greatest creation: his art." He adds, "What better outlet than Ovation, a network devoted to the arts and culture, to explore this concept?"
