Wow!What a busy fall.So for those of you, wondering what is happening and when things will be released, here's an update:I've recently gone through The Nephilim Effect and polished that up. Unfortunately, it will be another month or so before I can email all my followers the updated ebook version of that.Swing Low, The Hangman Of The Woods has finally finished it's final proofread as of yesterday. As promised, I will be sending a free ebook copy of that to all my followers also. The print version will be available for purchase around the same time. I'm swamped, but hope to have it ready by Christmas...One For The Money, Two For The Soul is still in editing. I estimate at least a year before it can be released. It'll be a fun book though. I can't wait to get busy with it again.Hard Boiled Cabbage from my new Gear Lock Series is about half-way through the rough draft. This will be a funny, semi gear punk, semi sleuth, epic fantasy. I get super excited every time I stand up to write this. (I say stand up, because I have a stand-up desk. They say it's healthy for you. Mostly it makes my legs tired.)I've been a little slower at editing some of my books, mainly because I got distracted by a side project. If you've been following me, you know that I want to be the best storyteller possible. Writing is just one form of storytelling.This year, I attended the Timpanogas Storytelling festival and conference. Awesome! I love oral storytelling.I also love visual storytelling. By that, I mean movies. I hope someday to make many of my stories into movies. This leads my to my fall distraction, of which I'll speak of more in a different post, but I decided to make a movie.Granted, the movie is a short film, my very first. Well, technically my second. When I was a cub scout, I tried making a movie called Snow Pink And The One Dwarf. It was really hard to tell a compelling story with a VHS camcorder, siblings who were as young or younger than me, and obviously me as a completely clueless kid. I hope it has found it's way to VHS heaven, never to be seen by mortal eyes again.Anyhow, this short film is titled: Never Talk To Pears When Walking Down Stairs. It takes about as much time to say the title as the movie is long. That is because this movie isn't just a short film, it's a one-minute film. I wrote it and am in post-production right now.A one minute film? That's been the cause of your distraction?Well, yes. By the time I'm done, I estimate that I'll have spent around 70-80 hours working on this one minute short. That doesn't include the 12 hour shoot that my 4 actors and helpers donated to make this possible.I'm sure that someone more experienced would have been able to do it all quicker, but I'm new to every part of filmmaking. It has been fun though, and I can honestly say that I've learned a ton. The only problem is, that as a full time non-story teller, my writing projects have suffered slightly. In another week though, I'll be back on my normal writing schedule.I will be posting that video here on my website as soon as the results from the one-minute film contest that I entered come in. Unfortunately, I can't publish it until after that happens.As always, thank you for following me, and thank you so much for reading my earliest works. I try very hard every day to improve my craft. I don't make any money with any of this (yet), but I love it, and I thank you for supporting me.
