Bob Ross

Greetings. Wherever you are in the world, I hope you and those you love are safe. So far, 2021 has been a rollercoaster, hasn’t it? But amid the chaos of extreme weather, there are some bright spots. Recently in the UK, a photographer spotted a couple in the middle of a marriage proposal. Instead of minding his own business, he decided to take a series of photos that turned out to be stunning. You can check out the story here.

Speaking of screenplays, my wife and I found this while going through some old boxes. I wrote Killers for the boys at The Asylum in the late nineties. Of all the things I’ve done, working with these gentlemen is still the best experience of my professional life. Thanks, fellas.

And now, on to less sentimental topics…

Last time, I mentioned I was writing a screenplay. Well, I finished it. Yay, me. Now, to the real work of making the thing not suck. For those who have never tried it, screenwriting is the hardest writing there is. In fiction, you’re advised to kill your darlings. Screenplays are different. You pretty much have to take out the whole family. Never mind. When I’m finished, it’ll read like “buttah.†At least, that’s what my muse told me.

I’ve got one other piece of news. I finally published Sarah Greene Mysteries Books 1–3 as a box set called The Darkness Trilogy. If you’re new to this series and enjoy supernatural horror, be sure to check it out.
