I just finished writing Part III of the Shady Palms novel. For the time being I am calling it “Larva”. Originally I had called it “Infestation”, but I have decided to use that title for Part IV. In the end I have no idea really how the book will be divided into Chapters and Parts. [...]

Shady Palms – Half Way There – 1st Draft
When I first started working on the manuscript for Shady Palms, I created my cover sheet which lists my name, contact information, the title of the work, the genre and approximate word count. As a goal for myself I typed “Goal: 70,000 Words” in light grey beneath the word count. One of the cool things [...]
Shady Palms – 100 Pages
I’m writing a quick update for anybody who checks out this blog regularly. If I don’t post something here every few months I feel I’m cheating the die-hard fans out there who occasionally send me email as they patiently await for the sequel to Slaughter Disc. While I have routinely learned to never say never, [...]
Shady Palms – Part Two – 1st Draft
I have crossed another mile stone while penning this first draft of Shady Palms. I am happy to say that I have completed the second part of the book and added another 12,000 words to the manuscript! Tentatively Part Two of the Story is entitled “Furlough” as it deals with a new main character and [...]
Shady Palms – Part One – 1st Draft
I am happy to say I have complete the first draft of the first part of the novel, after several weeks of due diligence. After much deliberation I decided to break the story into three parts. This was mainly because the characters from the beginning of the story have nothing to really do with the characters [...]
Vacancy at the Shady Palms
It’s been a long while since I posted anything about the story. For the most part I have been very busy working at my regular job and I am lucky if I get a day or evening once a week to work on the story. It’s funny because a few people at work know I [...]
Welcome to the Shady Palms
It’s been a long time, but I have been busy writing as I have promised. I have basically completed the first serious version of the script for Redress. I have shelved it for a while as there are some rough spots that need smoothing and I want to take a fresh whack at it after [...]
Bedbugs from Hell – Script Update
I am happy to announce that I have officially started work on the screenplay for Bedbugs from Hell. I have had a number of inquiries regarding this project from a few of producers so I am putting this one on the fast track. The original treatment I wrote for the film was around 14 pages. [...]
Bedbugs from Hell – Film Treatment
I am happy to announce that I finished the treatment for Bedbugs from Hell the other evening. I am letting it sit on the desk for a day before I pick it up and read it again. A few people have heard the story and they want to see more. Hopefully I can send it [...]
Bedbugs from Hell – The Teatment Begins
I have officially started on the first draft of the script for Bedbugs from Hell. I’ve been spending the last few weeks getting the Carnal Morgue DVD ready and then preparing for Comic-Con. It feels good just to sit down and write again. I have to admit I’ve been researching topics from the story for [...]
