Hi everyone. Well, my two biggest tasks right now, my two biggest concerns are one, to get ready to make my second short film, and two, to release the print version of my latest novel, Past Imperfect. It’s up on Amazon [and Barnes & Noble and Kobo] now. I published it through PublishDrive and was able to get it on Amazon that way. So there’s no reason to go through KDP or deal with Amazon directly. So having said that, Amazon has called it the PublishDrive Edition. Okay, whatever you want to call it. It’s still there, whatever it is. PublishDrive edition or first edition, whatever you want to call it.

Oh yeah, I’m trying to get a production meeting together for the second film that I’m going to be directing because as you may know, those of you who might actually pay attention to what I’m saying or read what I write, I do screenwriting now and have been doing that for quite a while, it feels like. Actually, it feels like a short time, but it’s been quite a while actually. I shudder to think of how much time has passed while I’ve been doing this because I got to tell you, screenwriting is no easy path to take and has become even less easy with the passage of time and the contraction of the industry.
