I never made the first cut for the horror screenwriting competition, but that’s okay. Still figuring things out. This would make a hell of a good movie if there are any directors interested in reading it. #horrorscreenplay #indiehorror #horrorscript #blumhouse

Saving this info because formatting is the bane of creativity. Thanks for offering this. I absolutely hate headers!!!

Adding screenwriter to my resume tonight. It feels damn good. Even if this doesn’t pan out, I’ve learned a lot about adapting one of my books, extracting the essence of the story, trimming unnecessary scenes (or merging them), and being proud of what I’ve accomplished. #searchfornewblood

8 days to go. I’m halfway through my 2nd draft and it’s feeling fantastic! I’m beginning to think I have a knack for adaptations.

I wasn’t PLANNING on adapting my horror novel Truth or Consequences into a screenplay this weekend, but uh… it’s happening. Not sure what’ll happen to it, but it’s a damn good story. Needs someone like Robert Rodriguez to direct.

Who’s got a hookup for unsolicited scripts? Any studio accepting?

UNTIL WE OPEN IT - Now available wherever you get books, except Amazon because fuck that place.

Extremely proud of this mystery suspense tale. Unlike anything I’ve written so far.

I took all of my books off Kindle because Bezos is an @$$hole who doesn’t need my money.

I don’t have it in me to start a new novel this summer. I think fall/winter is my jam to write and be more creative as I hunker down for the cold weather. We’ll see what happens. Got a batshit/crazy idea though!

Well, I designed the cover for my next horror novel. Now I just need to start plotting, planning, and writing the damn thing! šŸ˜‚ 🩸 😱

Got a #bookreview for UNTIL WE OPEN IT.

Tried something new alternating between different POVs for this story. Though it may take some time to learn who you are reading about, it does get easier as you read and know their situation and voice. Wrote this in the chapter order, pantsing as I went.

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES is a hell of ride!

"The idea that something ancient has come back to our world to raise hell is one of my favorite premises. And, of course, the people that are determined to stop them and how you become attached to them all."

Thanks! I have found a pretty great rhythm for the last 2 books... picked up a fairly cheap tablet and bluetooth keyboard to keep at my bedside so I can write away before going to sleep. If I'm downstairs, I use my laptop. All in a Google Doc for quick access. Keep at it!!

Book stats: 5 novels and 6 short stories self-published since I began this journey 6 years ago. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

What are yours?

Review for UNTIL WE OPEN IT:

ā€œA fast-paced story, deliberately styled with POV from an ensemble of characters, with unexpected turns on every page. It should be a must-add to your beach reading list this summer (especially for teachers!).ā€

It's reverse-Robin Hood here and I hate it.

If you like these, you’ll like Truth or Consequences. Grab a summer read now! (Paperbacks are always superior but whatever floats your boat) #indieauthor

I'm going to try my best to write another novel this year, starting next month. Got a great idea for a horror/sci-fi story that I don't think has been done before. Excited to start plotting and planning this one. More info as I develop this idea!

SURFACE concludes the FUTURE MACHINE trilogy, sending the Insurrection on a rescue mission to the moon. All 3 novels available in ebook, paperback, or one helluva nice hardcover edition.

ā€œFriendship, brotherhood, family, and a dash of treason and betrayal. Mix heavily with cyberpunk, sprinkle lightly with rebellion, and you have Future Machine.ā€

My first novel, published in 2020.
