I write Horror, Scifi, and any other genre that compels me.
If you need the threat of hell to be a good person, then you're just a bad person on a leash.
Mostly Andy
Often Opie
Barney on occasion
Goober and/or Gomer sometimes

If you're ridiculous enough to spend $150-$230 on that new #iPhone sock purse thingy that was just announced...
I will judge you
I will point at you
I will mock you
I will laugh at you

I have one of those electronic picture frames that flips from one pic to the next
One displayed showing the first apartment I shared with my girlfriend back in 1983 (wife, as of 1986)
My best friend and his wife are in the pic, too. We're all reading different sections of the Sunday newspaper

Not sure if it's allergies or a cold, but I'm being hammered by it
Sudafed
Nose spray
Allergy meds
Barely keeping it at bay. Ugh.
At least I wrote 4 pages between the sneezing and nose blowing.
More pages to come.

Query emails to production companies can work as Plan B, but keep them to 7 sentences max. Include: polite opening, killer logline, why you're reaching out to them specifically. That last part matters - it proves this isn't a form letter blast.

I am in major fuckin' world building mode right now
The last 3 days have been HUGELY satisfying as I conceive of and fact check a ton of esoteric shit for use in a Scifi TV pilot
I am in my wheelhouse, folks. A lifetime of reading/watching Scifi pays dividends with this project

My script didn’t make Second Round for the Austin Film Festival, which I accept. It’s just the way it goes. Sometimes it clicks with the reader, sometimes it doesn’t. Nevertheless…

Been a LONG time since I enjoyed a Scifi like I did this.

This movie embodies that notion

What a great fucking Predator movie!
Better than I had any right to hope for
Goddamn!

Just finished outlining my next project
It's set in Ireland
Inspired by both real events and Irish folklore
And yes, I'll need Irish readers for a "does it feel feckin' real" litmus test
Hoping to have it done before the end of the year
Wish me luck!

Here's some fun art from my graphic novel "Chasing The Dead"
I adapted the novel by Joe Schreiber to a screenplay, then made that into a graphic novel that was published by IDW
It's a lot of work to make a graphic novel, but I thought it turned out pretty damned well!
