The Death Toll Climbs

I have been ignoring my blog due to writing, which I suppose is a good thing. The days are blurring together as I make progress on ATWD: Siege and ready some short stories for some new anthologies. I received some awesome news yesterday that one of my short stories will be in a new werewolf anthology edited by the amazing and prolific Eric S. Brown.

In other news, I am editing a new witches anthology for the Library of Horror Press. I'm very excited and so far the submissions have been pretty darn good.

There is more news brewing, but I can't share everything quite yet.

Things are going well with the option negotiation for the As The World Dies trilogy. Hopefully, once everything is signed and dotted, we'll be on the road to a freaking awesome zombie TV show or movie. Keep your fingers and toes crossed!!

Anyway, back to the grind. I'm determined to get ATWD:Siege out by early August. I'm getting your emails on a daily basis asking for it. Trust me, those emails keep the fire lit under my rear.

As The World Dies: The TV Series or Movie...Coming Soon?

Over the last three years, I have been told by fans of the As The World Dies Trilogy that you would love to see the books turned into 1) a movie 2) a mini-series 3) a TV show. Many of you have told me how you felt you "saw" the book in your mind as you read and how exciting it would be to see it on the big or little screen. You sent in casting ideas and urged me to get to Hollywood to sell my story.

Well, I am in talks to option the TV/Film rights of the trilogy.

What does this mean?

It means that someone out in the sunny world of LA believes in the story.

If I sell the rights, they will then start shopping it around in hopes of getting a deal that will get ATWD onto a screen near you.

We're still in talks and nothing is set in stone, but it's looking good.

I will keep you posted.
