It's been awhile since I've been on here!
I got into screenwriting back in 2006 and joined Stage 32 shortly thereafter. I tried my hand at it for about 10 years, then switched gears and began writing novels (some of which were adaptations of screenplays I had written).
From 2016 to 2022 I wrote 4 novels and have been querying them (much like my screenplays). It's tough out there (much like screenwriting) and it certainly doesn't help when you either write something niche (satire) or something that is very competitive (YA). My ultimate dream would be to have one of my novels (or all of them, who am I kidding) optioned as a screenplay (which I could write) and see it up on the big screen.
Last year I decided I had to get my 'stuff' out there (finally), so I decided to go the indie publishing route. Although I'm still hopeful my writing will find a more traditional home, I have to move forward because life is too short.
I have lined up all my novels for release over the next 2 years. My first one is the satire White Rabbit: An American Satire. It's an absurdist, screwball, madcap satire of our current political climate. Here's the logline:
When a MAGA-influenced conservative woman runs for public office to ‘save America’, she naively joins a religious cult that’s a front for a terrorist group. When she enlists them to eliminate the competition, a disastrous chain of events unfolds. It's a blistering take down of contemporary conservatism.
No traditional publishing house would touch this, so I released it myself. My hope is that everyone will have as much fun reading it as I had writing it.
It's available at online bookstores everywhere including B+N and Amazon.
