Torri “T.J.” Newman ’06 has a new book that is set to be released on May 30. Drowning: The Rescue of Flight 1421 is a thriller about a plane that crashes and sinks into the ocean with passengers enclosed in the cabin and the rescue mission that ensues. She also recently secured a film deal for this new book with Warner Bros. “It’s been a huge honor and a huge learning experience. In a novel, you have 10 pages to write a scene. In a screenplay, you have one page. Executing that kind of compression well is extremely difficult and I’ve loved the challenge of it,” she said. You can read more about the new book/movie here. Congratulations Torri!
