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

My script supervisor.
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?

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

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! 😂 🩸 😱

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."

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.

Review for UNTIL WE OPEN IT:
“A 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!).”

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!

“Friendship, brotherhood, family, and a dash of treason and betrayal. Mix heavily with cyberpunk, sprinkle lightly with rebellion, and you have Future Machine.”
My first novel, published in 2020.

I really believe that my Future Machine novels would make an excellent manga adaptation in the style of the Akira graphic novels.
