How can I get signed copies of C.J. Box novels?

Go to a book signing! The tour schedule is posted here: http://www.cjbox.net/appearances
If for some reason you're not able to make a signing or event, the next best way to get a signed book is to contact the bookstores who specialize in customer service and keep supplies of signed books. You can find that list here: http://www.cjbox.net/bookstores
And if neither of those preferred options will work for you, send a request to the forum at http://www.cjbox.net/forum. You'll receive a set of guidelines on how and where to send your books as well as how to ask to have them inscribed. The difficulty with this option is that you'll need to be prepared to send along self-addressed packaging and postage as well and the turn-around time may not be optimum.

What about a movie or TV show?

Although OPEN SEASON was optioned for a while and several versions of a script were written, in the end a new group of studio executives at Warner Bros. decided they didn't want to proceed. So all of the books are available again, but nothing is really pending. There is interest from time to time and there's been talk about other projects and even a television series, but nothing solid. One thing we've learned is that "unpredictable" is the best byword for dealing with Hollywood.

What is the order of the Joe Pickett novels?

Open Season (2001)
Savage Run (2002)
Winterkill (2003)
Trophy Hunt (2004)
Our of Range (2005)
In Plain Sight (2006)
Free Fire (2007)

What is the latest with foreign rights?

I have a great idea for a novel! Would C.J. Box like to hear it, read it, talk about it, help me write it?

Congratulations on your great idea and all the best in writing the book. Due to legal and liability issues, C.J. Box cannot accept other author's work or discuss potential concepts or ideas.
