What are you currently working on?

Dan Burns In my short story collection, No Turning Back, there is a story titled Letting Go, which introduced the character of Sebastian Drake. In writing the story, it was my first effort to find out for myself who Sebastian Drake really was, and what he had the potential to become. I needed to know what he was doing now, and at the same time, I needed to get some insight into his past, his demons, his special skills, and his possibilities for the future. I sat down in front of my computer, pictured Drake in my mind, sat him at a table in a coffee shop, and set the wheels of imagination into motion. When I finished the story, I found that I had created more questions than I’d answered. Actually, I’m not sure I answered many questions about Sebastian Drake at all. But I was intrigued by what happened in the story and I thought I might want to know more. Actually, I needed to know more.

After writing a screenplay for a feature film with Drake in the lead role, I embarked on a project to bring Sebastian Drake to his ultimate story platform: the novel. In a reverse adaption and using the screenplay as a basis (the same process that I used for my first novel, Recalled to Life), I am happy to say that as of this writing, the initial draft of A Fine Line: A Sebastian Drake Novel is complete. After a few more revisions, and after Sebastian Drake has finally closed this chapter of his story, the book will be published, and we’ll see where it goes from there.
