Hi, Jim! Good to see you here.
Karen, we've been having a good spell of weather, too. I guess it's just global warming.
I have been busy, Derek. Freak is out this autumn -- it's about a boy who's born a freak of nature and how he grows up and finds his place in the world. It's much darker than anything I've written before, and the highest word count, but I think it's really good. We'll see if Joe Public agrees in September.
As well as that, I think (fingers crossed!) I've got a producer interested in a film script I wrote about an Incubus. And, I've just finished my first non-horror novel, a coming-of-age murder mystery, and I've written a children's book that I'm shopping around at the moment. I'm also trying to finish another film script (stoner comedy/drama) that I intend to shoot myself this summer. After I finish that, I'll be starting the last of the vampire trilogy, Vampire Equinox, which will be out autumn 2009. and... breathe!
It's the saturation bombing approach to writing, hopefully a cash explosion will follow.
