Director Martin Tahse adapted the authors' book, Ace Hits the Big Time, into a CBS "School break Special" in 1985. Competing with MTV, they cast it as a musical.

According to Murphy, Random House plans to release the series (Ace Hits the Big Time, Ace Hits Rock Bottom, and Fly Like an Eagle, possibly renamed as "Ace Flies Like an Eagle") as part of a new print-on-demand service, iuniverse.com, in 2000. Readers can place an order online and have a copy printed and mailed to them.

Also according to the author, several of Murphy's books, No Place to Run (1977), now called Tripping the Runner, Annie and the Animals (1989), Annie at the Ranch (1991), and Fly Like an Eagle (1994) will be back in print through the Authors Guild. Using the online service Backinprint.com, authors offer private book supplies and quality paperback editions of their books.
