O.K.
Here’s all the stuff you never wanted to know about me Of course, if
you’re planning on becoming an obsessive fan/stalker, then this is
just the tip of the iceberg.
Having graduated college I worked for a small regional newspaper
as a staff writer, restaurant reviewer and for two hours (really, just
two hours), weekly contest compiler. Following that I worked in
advertising,
writing copy and promotional video production. In the middle of writing
a training video for lawyers, I realized that the best bits weren’t
the training parts, chopped those out and was left with my first short
story about Lawyers in hell (which is no where near as original a
concept as I thought at the time).
Since making the move away from writing believable and sometimes
humorous lies for other people, I've written screenplays, a
sci-fi/comedy novel and numerous short stories. Two shorts, both
serious sci-fi, made it to
the quarter finals of the L.Ron Hubbard "Writers of the Future
Contest." So my level of failure there is at least
consistent. Another short, “Heard It,” can be seen in the upcoming
Fantasist Enterprises’ Anthology “Bash Down the Door and Slice Open
the Badguy.” I'm also sweating over my second novel; developing
and scripting several comic book titles;
and on the screenplay front, I'm also working with a couple of
production companies on a comedy and a horror movie.(1) |

That would be one comedy and one horror. I just didn’t think I
could work a good series of gags into a zombie brain-eating scene.
(2) In no particular order of merit.
(3) In a fairly accurate order of merit
(4) I look on these as activities I don’t get the
chance to do enough of, but would like to explore more
when time or opportunity allows.
(5) With the round ball, that you kick with your FOOT
(it’s not just a clever title, y’know?). |
