Red Light Properties: Unfinished Business
Once upon a time in Miami...
...there was a schlub named Jude who could see dead people, and a hustler named Cecilia angling for her slice of the American dream. When they met, sparks flew (different sparks fly now). They got married, had a son, and combined their talents into a real estate agency called RED LIGHT PROPERTIES, offering "previously-haunted" homes at below-market prices to folks who could never otherwise afford one. But the good vibes don't always last, do they? In order to clear a space of lingering spirits, Jude requires heroic doses of psychedelics on the daily to penetrate The Membrane separating the spirit world from ours... leaving him forever straddling his shamanic higher reality and the reptile-brain dystopia of American capitalism. Which leaves Cecilia holding the bag with like, everything finding clients, closing contracts, the emotional labor of holding their family together, and... you see where this is going. Family businesses always suck, but this one is the stuff of actual supernatural nightmares... in South Florida. I made it so easy for all of RLP's previous adventures are now available in one oversized hardcover. UNFINISHED BUSINESS is a giant slab of tropical ghost stories, bad trips, heartbreak and heartburn! About Dan Born in Detroit and raised in South Florida, DAN GOLDMAN is a writer-artist working in prose, comics, and video games. He has lived in New York City, São Paulo, and Los Angeles in search of inspiration, culture, good food and deep kinship. In addition to his ongoing tropical horror series Red Light Properties, he is the co-creator of the graphic novels Chasing Echoes (Humanoids), the Priya’s Shakti series, the non-fiction political docu-comic 08: A Graphic Novel of the Campaign Trail (Three Rivers), and the Eisner-nominated Shooting War (Grand Central). He has also written/designed for video games, including the Emmy-winning Silent Ascension (Genvid), and The Resurgence (Ubisoft). Dan is currently in South Florida researching new RLP stories.

About the author
Dan Goldman
18 books27 followersDan Goldman is a writer, artist and activist working in graphic novels, animated TV, video games and digital media.
Raised in South Florida, Dan was a founding member of the ACT-I-VATE webcomics collective in Brooklyn, launching the careers of many creators (including his own). In 2006, SHOOTING WAR, his serialized dystopian satire of the War on Terror was nominated for an Eisner Award. Dan began contributing editorial illustrations regularly to New York Magazine's weekly "Intelligencer" column, eventually leaning harder into comics journalism with a long form collaboration with journalist Michael Crowley. Together they created 08: A GRAPHIC DIARY OF THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, a 160-page nonfiction graphic novel documenting the chaotic 2008 Presidential election--written and drawn in real-time--which resulted in a hybrid of the visual languages of comics and magazine design that NPR Books called "defiantly and refreshingly unconventional."
After the election, Dan and his wife moved to São Paulo, Brazil where he began to produce his long-gestating passion project: a paranormal horror series called RED LIGHT PROPERTIES. Initially serialized online at Tor.com, the series saw print via IDW Books (US) and Plot! (Brazil) and is currently in development as a live-action TV series.
Returning to NYC, Dan produced Emmy-winning experiences for AMC Television and scripted two video games based on mega-hit series The Walking Dead. He then co-created the augmented-reality enabled feminist comic series PRIYA'S SHAKTI with collaborator Ram Devineni. With funding awarded by the Tribeca Film Institute, Ford Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, this work allowed Dan to criss-cross the Indian subcontinent several times, working directly with the young people his stories were created to inspire. The series has since been downloaded nearly 1.5 million times in multiple languages worldwide. This experience in India inspired Dan to found the Kinjin Story Lab, a narrative studio dedicated to creating mindful entertainment across multiple media.
Dan's next book CHASING ECHOES, a semi-autobiographic graphic novel about American Jews traveling across rural Poland in search of family land seized by the Nazis, will be released in November 2019 from Humanoids Publishing.
He is based in Los Angeles with his partner Liliam and two endlessly-entertaining cats.
