Exciting news for book lovers and movie fans! Another story is making the journey from page to screen! Author Angie Ellington recently shared the news that her novel, Dancing By the Moonlight, will be adapted into a TV movie and streaming feature.

Storyline via Amazon:

"Olivia Shields is back in Carlisle Bay, Connecticut, after having traveled the world as a professional ballet dancer. Dancing was her life. Chasing performance dreams is all she's ever known or planned for. One summer she spent in Carlisle Bay before heading to Juilliard left her both heartbroken and more focused on her career than ever. A back injury has forced some changes. She'll take on a new role as the manager of her aunt's coastal boutique. After all, she's completely over the boy who broke her heart forever ago. Brady Carlisle has recently returned to Carlisle Bay; the hometown of his family's namesake. He's spent the last decade in California, designing and patenting surfboards. Becoming his own man without relying on the Carlisle name is all he's ever wanted. Just as life seems to be getting on track, the boutique could be lost. The Shields women have got a few storms to weather. They aren't the only ones. The Carlisle family has held on to secrets for over a decade. Thankfully, these two former summer sweethearts have the kind of friends who make life's damaged surfaces less difficult to repair with wit and humor. Recapturing a summer love swept out at sea thirteen years earlier can be as rough as a stormy sea. Will secrets and heartache of the past keep them apart? Life may not always be smooth sailing along the shores of Carlisle Bay, and fireworks are sure to be found."

The storyline above is based on the Dancing By the Moonlight book. Some details may be slightly changed as the story is adapted for film.
