YARD RATS, New Music & A New Screenplay For My Novella BOY

For about a year I have been sitting on a prison script called YARD RATS that needed a good location to shoot at and that was both safe and affordable. Thanks to some really good networking I am very close to seeing this desire fulfilled! There is even potential distribution involved but the project will have to be completed first.

On the music scene, a friend of mine by the name of Mike Bales hipped me to the UHQ or Urban Hillbilly Quartet. I know what you are thinking and at first I wasn't sure what to expect but that was where the delight and joy lies in this music. ERIK BRANDT the band leader of UHQ is pure genius! His quirky and alternative sound will uplift and surprise you with each change of song. There is even a dark side to his music that really intrigues me. I am currently working on adding several pieces of his music to my short film repertoire ... hmmm can anyone say YARD RATS (hint, hint)!!

Finally, I could take it anymore! The (mild) perfectionist in me went through my previous works and freaked out (for the thousandth time) about the errors in my books. So instead of revising in particular the novella BOY with a self-publisher I opted to revamp the book as a screenplay and market them together as a package. If you can't think outside the box get out the fricken ring! I am pleased to say the screenplay is complete. The packages should be ready by next month.

So once again to all my readers THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT and wish me luck.

Take care.
