$99 book video
My new video trailer for Hell Swamp is getting great reviews! Can you believe I paid less than $200 for it to be created and distributed world-wide while others have paid hundreds more? I am pleased to let you know that GWExtra, who created my two videos, is having a promotional this week. They are offering writers of all kinds a $99 package for a book review, a video trailer, and a live radio interview (if you choose), and then when you have approved the video draft, they distribute it all over… Continue

This time of year
I hope all who read this blog are as excited as I am. I love this time of year. As I await the release of my latest book, I am heading out the door to our cabin in the woods to work on the next one by a potbellied wood stove. My hubby will hunt, we will ride the ATV, and watch the stars at night. Great inspiration should follow, right?
As much as I love this season, I get so blamed distracted with my writing. I think I must have a touch of...let's see, there are so many things I could be touched… Continue

Starting with the villain
I recently published Just North of Luck, my second mystery. In this Logan Hunter Mystery, I started the novel from the villain's point of view. It wasn't an easy task, but I just felt it was necessary to introduce this whacked-out man first. I also used epigraphs at the end of a few chapters to let the readers, perhaps, garnish some sympathy for the guy--at least for a while. However, there is a point at which that becomes impossible. I would like to hear from readers how they feel about this te… Continue

Come on Over
I'm over at a few other blogs today. If you get a chance, come on over to see the Christmas Decorations at http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com/At http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/ the topic is Spoiled Milk. Ever sit down to read a good book and been disappointed?
If you haven't yet, check out the post below about the Paper War.
Thanks,

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

They are a 'real' movie company. I've since heard of writers paying to have their work made into screenplays and then submitting them to film companies. I thought that a bit odd. Thunderball Films have now entered into a co-production deal with Masterplan Films (UK) who will be handling the UK production of the movie and the director is Masterplan's CEO, Andrew Jones, an award-winning British director.
The movie people handle every aspect of turning the book into a film, which is as I always envisaged would be the case. After all, they approached me in the first place with a view to production, so they wold know just what they want from a screenplay, far more than I or anyone else.
Best wishes
Brian
Forgot to answer your question re the movie. they are still working on the screenplay so as yet I have no news on a potential release date....shucks!
Best regards

I do hope you get a copy of Legacy of the Ripper and that you enjoy it as much as you did A Study in Red. I'm now halfway through writing the last part of my Ripper trilogy. 'Requiem for The Ripper' which Double Dragon have scheduled for a summer 2010 release. 'Legacy' is doing well at Amazon I think both in the UK and the USA.
Best wishes and it's lovely to hear from you and hope all's going well for you.

My children and grandchildren are all gone now. The house is quite. What a nice time it is now! We have the house to ourselves. I dont know what it is but the older the children get the more they want to come back home, while my husband and I are yelling "Hallelujah! We finally have the house to ourselves! " Then comes the knock on the door or a ring of the phone soon afterwards with the conversation always starting out the same "What are you and dad doing?" I could write forever on my family. Tomorrow and the rest of this week no one is coming over!
Thanks for befriending this fellow mystery author!
Thanks for your message. I will try to bounce back from this setback, and in the meantime, I'm reading Hell Swamp! Great so far!
Brian
