Happy August Everyone!!!

He owns it today and many want it! I've written the screenplay, and now am writing the non-fiction book. Meet him and others on J...

I have written all 6 screenplays; 5 of the 6 are adapted from 5 of my 19 published novels while 1 is an origi...

When is it time to hang up the cleats?

Ok, when is it time to place a screenplay that you've wrote on the shelf and leave it there. Some people keep shopping it around, they rewrite it or after no success they scratch it and promote their next project. In your OWN opinion, what would you consider time to hang it up and/or would you consi...

To Patrick - you're on the money when you say that a good idea is never out of date. As long as you have a single champion for a piece of material - even if it's only yourself - it's like a vampire -...

Life without Passion is Boredom

I began my writing career in 2003 with a novel "A Tale from a Ghost Dance," and then followed up with 19 more published books (2 non-fiction and 17 novels). In 2001, I began adapting a few of the novels to screenplays (drama/suspense); 5 thus far (The Interview, Unordinary Love, Bound and Determined...

If fear doesn't move you, then love will compell you!

I'm a "recovering" Human Resource professional who now is a screenwriter/novelist. I've adapted five of my 18 novels to scripts along with 1 original script. During the past two weekends I pitched my scripts to several film/television firms with some short term success ... given out about 100 synopses. Now, the wait begins. I love this business!
