some writing samples

[Flicker Pictures]

Finally got around to updating a writing samples page that includes a variety of vignettes, shorts, pilots, works-in-progress and features I've scribbled out over the years.

Not all of them have been edited or refined to death, but in the spirit of giving fearfulness and self-doubt the finger, onward I say!

That's a neat selection of material.

I hope The Sleeping Deep comes out on top; seeing it optioned already. Great story.

Another vote for The Sleeping Deep. And Walter Sheltin.

TSD wasn't optioned, but it's under contract (expires in October) at a lit agency. I'm trying my damnedest to get a rewrite done for them, but not sure it will happen.

On the other hand, SEX BOMB DEATH RIDE was optioned and *might* see some action next year. Although the company had another writer put his take on it and from what I've heard it's nothing like what I wrote, which is totally fine with me.

A lot of the scripts aren't fully developed. Always tinkering with new ideas. Forever on the fence of am I writing this to produce myself or pass on to someone else? If anyone can make it happen, I'd gladly hand it over!

Cool. Is TSD available to read?

Sure. Look for a PM.
