Beth Gutcheon may have "gone Hollywood" when Still Missing, her 1981 novel about an abducted boy, was adapted into the feature film Without a Trace (Gutcheon penned the screenplay) -- but she hasn't forgotten her roots as a novelist, as evidenced by the acclaimed More than You Know and Leeway Cottage. "It's quite an odd way to make a living," she observes on the writer's life. "I send out a kind of email blast to my friends, saying, 'ok, I'm going into the novel hole, I'll see you in about two years," she laughs.
