Update On Progress!


UPDATE ON PROGRESS!

Well, it's been a while since my last post. A lot has happened and I want to bring you up to speed:

After the last one, a friend of ours (my wife and I) discovered an article that my local newspaper wrote about me as a writer. It surprised us completely as I hadn't asked them if they would be interested.

It was a quarter page spread. Pretty significant and cool!

In it the piece discussed the screenplay as well. (Which caught me off-guard as I was just making the decision to write the other three books in the series before I began the scripts. "Plan B" had to go back to "Plan A" as I realized it's now out there.)

To be fair, it's what I have been talking about all along. So, not really shocked by it.

Even though marketing continues, the sales have gone "dormant" which is what I expect right now.

Activity is switching to the screenplay and getting that in the right hands. To that end I find myself with a mentor who works and lives in Hollywood. (I cannot divulge their name as I feel privacy is in order right now.)

But I feel fortunate to have them there to help bring it to life. With the right blessings, and hopefully finding the right people, the script might be able to turn into the movie that I dreamed about all of those years ago...

Once the screenplay is written and I'm in the editing phase, I'll begin pre-production on book two. 

The working title for the second novel is:

When Night Has Fallen

I think it's an appropriate name for book two. (Once I have the logline down, I'll post it here too, of course.)

Anyway, that should bring you up to date for right now. I hope your day is going great and you have an awesome week!
