Sorry if I’m sending this post again – I don’t think the entire post went through last time.

I’m so excited that a production company is considering turning my first novel, Ancient Enemy, into a film. I’ve got my fingers crossed, but I’m not getting my hopes up because I’ve had four other books/scripts fall through at the last moment for financing reasons.

But I’m still excited. Anytime someone wants to spend a large amount of money and time to turn something I wrote into a film, it’s really a great feeling.

I hope it happens. I can see the movie in my mind. I can’t reveal too many details at this stage, but I will keep you updated.

Meanwhile, to celebrate, I’ve got the entire Ancient Enemy series on sale right now. So, if you haven’t read the books, or if you know anyone who might want to read them, now’s the chance! I left a link to the book on Amazon below:

Do you like books like The Silence of the Lambs? Then you might enjoy the first book in my Eve Townsend series, Tightrope. It’s available now on Amazon in both print and e-book. The e-book is on sale for .99 cents for a short time. You can find it here:

TIGHTROPE

EVE TOWNSEND – SERIAL KILLER HUNTER

Ten years ago, when Eve Townsend was seventeen years old, Tightrope killed her family and took her younger sister, Maddie. Eve was left alive—the only survivor. After inheriting her family’s fortune, Eve has dedicated her life to finding Tightrope, training her body and mind, honing her skills, using every resource at her disposal to track down Tightrope . . . and others like him.

Her years of hunting Tightrope have turned up nothing—he’s a ghost. But now a nearby family has just been slaughtered in much the same way as her family was. Is Tightrope back? Eve believes he is, and so does Special Agent Parker—the agent on the scene when Eve’s family was killed. Everyone lives in fear, waiting for the next attack.

Eve receives a cryptic message from Tightrope . . . he claims he didn’t kill that family—it was a copycat. He gives Eve a string of clues to find the copycat, but he also promises that each clue will bring her closer to him, closer to the truth about what happened to her sister.

Follow Eve Townsend as she navigates the dark and twisted world of Tightrope, chasing clues that lead down a labyrinth of horror to a shocking end.

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve put anything new on Amazon – my wife and I started a separate business, and we’ve been concentrating on that. But I have been getting some writing done lately. The second and third books in the Eve Townsend series are already written and will be published within the next month or so.

I’ve also got a post-apocalyptic series I’m working on, and a few standalone horror novels.

Being an author is a dream come true for me, but it only happens because of readers like you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my books and supporting my work.

I have gotten way behind in my writing over the last year or so because my wife and I started a new business (which is going great, by the way). But I am committed to getting some new work on Amazon as soon as I can. I’m working on an EMP post-apocalyptic story that may either be a three-book series or one long standalone novel – I will have to see how the first draft comes out. Also working on a series about an FBI consultant who hunts serial killers, and I’ve been excited for a while about getting this one out there. I have the first and third books pretty much finished, but I’m still rewriting the second book. I’m also working on several standalone novels. When those new books become available, I will definitely let you know in my blog, on my Facebook page, and in my newsletter. Thanks for sticking with me.
