TV's 'Twin Peaks' heads to bookstores as a novel

NEW YORK -- The eerie TV town of Twin Peaks will soon be available between covers.

Flatiron Books says its Macmillan division will publish "The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks," a novel that promises to reveal what has happened to the residents of that mythical town since they were last seen a quarter-century ago on the groundbreaking ABC television series, which aired in 1990 to 1991.

The publisher said Thursday the book is being written by Mark Frost, who was co-creator and executive producer of the series with film director David Lynch.

It will be published in advance of the Showtime sequel announced last week to air in 2016.

Frost called the novel a "dream project."

The Showtime cable channel's limited series will be written and produced by the original creators, and Frost will direct.
