I'm a Christian author and screenwriter of family-friendly fiction, writing within several different genres including science-fiction, fantasy, and apocalyptic thrillers. I'm just wrapping up my latest novel, a Romance/Suspense/Adventure novel tentatively entitled A Walk through the Garden of God. Below is my email and a couple of links if you ever want to contact me. My "About" tab on my Stage 32 profile has a summary about each of my works, if you'd ever like to stop by and say hello. Have a great weekend!

Jeff - we love having you in the Stage 32 community! Congratulations on all your novels...your work is impressive and inspiring to other authors here on Stage 32. I can only imagine the lessons you've learned along the way in your professional career :)
Thank you, Julie!
Hi Jeff, nice to meet you.
Sounds like you'll have a lot of fun with your writing--all my favorite genres.
Hi Bruce. It's nice to meet you as well. Welcome to Stage 32!
Hi Jeff, it's nice to meet you as well! Yeah, I certainly do enjoy these genres. I'm looking forward to getting my latest novel out to see how it does. I've adapted one of my novels, Cyberspace to a screenplay, and I'm also planning to adapt my other novels as well. Exciting times!
How did the adaptation go? I've gone the other direction: Mouth of the Lion started as a one-act play, morphed into a screenplay, then finally got turned into a novel--not as easy as you might think. I've been told that novels are the easiest path to selling a screenplay concept.
Hello!!

Jeff, it takes time, significantly longer than writing a screenplay from scratch. I've had some interest but I haven't sold it yet. Hi Toni! Welcome to Stage 32!
thanks- interested in meeting like minded individuals and building a stronger network !
Toni-Definitely a great place to do that. Never know when an opportunity Have you come across any opportunities yet to ply your trade?
Adaptation definitely takes "longer than writing a screenplay." A famous director once said, "Never do adaptations."
Not from this resource! However check out my "About me" to see some of what I've come across thus far in my mass comm journey!
