Looking For The Perfect Gift To Get That Special Horror Film Fan In Your Life?

Looking for the perfect gift to buy that special horror film fan in your life this holiday season? Then why not pick up a copy of our film The Bunnyman on DVD? Not only will you be giving a gift they are sure to enjoy, but you'll also be showing your support for truly independent cinema!

The Bunnyman combines the thrills of classic slasher films such as Halloween, and the horror film satire of Scream, and the campiness of TROMA movies, for one horrifyingly hilarious film.

The notorious serial killer, Cotton Peters, has escaped from the mental institution he has been imprisoned in for seventeen years after brutally slaughtering his family and others on Halloween night.
Now he has returned to finish the job. Enter Jayme Myers, who is unaware of her deadly connection to Peters. As the killer stalks Jayme, she and her friends gather together, but those who survive, will never be the same again.

Available exclusively through Amazon.com, purchase a copy here: The Bunnyman Director's Cut

After a late night of watching horror movies, and having deal with a service man from the phone company who was out to fix a problem with the line that's been going on for months, I got a late start on the first day of NaNoWriMo. Didn't get as much writing time in as I'd hoped, but did manage to get down 1,042 words.

For those of you participating in NaNoWriMo this year, how'd your first day go?

NaNoWriMo

Good luck to everyone participating in NaNoWriMo this year! I'm off to start my book. Happy writing!

NaNoWriMo Update

Didn't get a chance to work on my outline Wednesday because of a fire that ravaged the back side of my property. Got a detailed outline of the first two chapters done today, though, so at least that's something. I'd hoped to have the whole thing finished today and ready for the start of NaNoWriMo on Friday, but alas, such is my luck that I didn't get it done. Whelp, off to watch a Nightmare On Elm Street marathon.

The Kindle Version of my YA Horror Novel Tony's Doll is FREE today!

Hi everyone, the Kindle version of my YA novel Tony's Doll is available FREE today! Even if you have no interest in reading it, please still download it as it will help me to be featured on Amazon's home page. If you don't want to read it, you don't even need a Kindle or Kindle reader, you can still download it, because it doesn't cost you anything.

It's available here on Amazon.com Tony's Doll

Book Description:

While strolling through a flea market one afternoon, Tony Lowder is spoken to by an innocent looking doll. However, upon taking the doll home, Tony discovers that the doll is possessed by a vengeful demon trying to take over his life. After an ensuing battle of man against doll, Tony manages to lock the demon doll into an old chest where it bides its time, plotting its revenge.

Got quite a bit done today. Filmed some short videos for the new and improved website for my film company, wrote a review of a story on Goodreads, signed up for NaNoWriMo (if you're participating, be sure to look me up NaNoWriMo, and just finished watching Tremors 2, 3, and 4.

What did you do this weekend?

NANOWRIMO

Just signed up for National Novel Writing Month for the first time. Anyone else doing it this year? Now I just have to decide which of the three novels I have to write I'm going to choose.

Just a heads up...

The Kindle edition of my YA horror novel Tony's Doll, will be available for FREE on October 31st!

I haven't had much time to keep up with this blog for awhile. I've been busy working on getting the shooting script finalized for a film I'm directing (follow that here: I Love You Because Facebook Group Page to keep track of all the exciting goings on with that project) and doing some film work for friends so haven't really had much time to update the blog. And I mostly access the internet on my phone now; and it's keyboard is way too small to do much typing. Got some more writing projects to start on and will hopefully be able to update this blog more often.



In the mean time, kindly check out my YA novel Tony's Doll, available on Kindle; or, for those purists among you, it's also available as a good oldfashioned book.

Waiting to hear back from Amazon about my YA novel, Tony's Doll, being accepted for Kindle.

Finally back to a daily writing schedule! Once the play I directed was over, I had a few false starts, getting back into the swing of things and finding my way back in to the projects I was working on. I've written every day this week and completed two chapters in a novel I'm working on, worked out some structural details for a screenplay, and even have time to write this post.

Gonna do my Insanity work out for the day;  then organize my office (it needs it), then hopefully catch up on last night's episode of Supernatural which I missed because my brother and I were filming a scene for a contest. Once the video is done, I'll post a link. In case you don't know, my brother and I make films, you can check out our work on Facebook or our website DaJa Vu Films.

Oh, and does anyone know of a good Kindle template? I've tried looking, but haven't really found one. I want to convert my YA novel Tony's Doll to Kindle and don't have Mircosoft Word, and the formatting instructions don't work very well for OpenOffice. Anyone who can help, I'll send you a free Kindle copy of the novel when it's set up.

I think that's everything. What have all of you been up to?

Back From Theatre Hiatus

I’ve been massively busy directing a play since December so haven’t had time to keep this updated or even read any of the blogs I follow. Play closed last weekend, though, and I’m finally getting time back for me, as well as getting back to working on my own writing projects. The owner of the theater company is already asking me to direct several shows for next season, so I take it my show was a success. It was the first show of the first season, so the pressure was on.
My next project will be I Love You Because, which is a film I wrote based on a play that a friend of mine wrote. I’m currently trying to raise funds to pay and feed the actors. My brother (who is my producing partner) have spent all of our money purchasing equipment so need a little help. So please, check out the link

I Love You Because

And if you can’t contribute monetarily, please comment, like and share the page, which will help us get more exposure on the IndieGoGo website.  Every little bit helps.

Had a breakthrough on a short story I've been working on for a while. It's part of a series based on my experiences from a few years ago when my father was in the hospital and on life support and all of the doctors were demanding we take him off, yet we refused and he is alive today because we fought to keep him that way. So it's not something easy for me to write about and I've been struggling for months to find my opening into the story. Found it today after many false starts.

Sent two of my short stories in to magazines today. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Well Hello There, My It's Been A Long Time

Yes, it has been awhile, my faithful readers, but it has been time well spent. Since September I've been working on writing promotional videos for a film I wrote in order to get it made, and busy with my day job as an improv performer. And on top of that, I am currently directing the play Crimes of the Heart, which opens in February, so haven't had much time to write anything else as of late,  but hope to remedy that soon, and update the blog more often.
