In the mid-1990s an Australian team of producers optioned "Chasing Women" for a feature film. After working for over two years on the screenplay, this project was abandoned. In late 2017, one half of the team (now part of a production company called "Faraway Films") sought out "Chasing Women" again, having never forgotten it. In the process of optioning this book for the second time, Faraway Films discovered three other novels by Longfellow ("China Blues", "Walks Away Woman" and "Houdini Heart") and asked for and was granted a four-book deal. All four books are now in active pre-production.
