Siebert, Taylor option novel 'Hick'


April 10, 2008 Producers Steven Siebert and Christian Taylor have optioned the best-selling novel "Hick," by first-time author Andrea Portes. "Hick," published in 2007 by Unbridled Books, was recently named among the best adult books for high school students by the School Library Journal. The producers hope to mold the project with a lead character in the vein of Addie Loggins of "Paper Moon" and Iris Steensma in "Taxi Driver."
