Fallen (The Series) gets review in Rogue Cinema! We're marching forward and prepping for the 2010 Pitch Season. Big thanks for JJ Painter, Rob Gokee & Nick Brethauer who have been major contributors to the post production efforts.

Hey All,

Been pretty busy lately. First, I'm elated that I had an opportunity to adapt Jennifer Laumann's original idea for what I coined "From Geek to Chic" for the Doritos Crash The Super Bowl Ad. We've got a ton of hits and need a ton more to keep us in the Top Tier of the Competition. Last checked, we were in the Top 8 % of over 4,000 entries.

Also, I've been busy working on Fallen (The Revolution). We've been allotted the largest space at the Esquire Theater for this Saturday, November 28th. We gotta fill 200 seats, so if you're in the Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana area, come out and support the hottest web series in the Midwest. All sales go to completing Fallen and getting us to LA to pitch the concept in 2010. And if you can't make it out, watch our Trailer on YouTube.

More soon on the plays I'm directing in 2010 and my new short AMERICAN FAMILY slated for a Spring 2010 production starring Michele A. Fink and Andre Michele.

Writers for young people, check out the blog Swell Books.  It's incredible!!

Hey All,

My recent project FALLEN launched September 6th, and I couldn't be more pleased with the caliber of talent involved. We are looking for music to use in our episodes. We are seeking a theme song and definitely music to use in the credits. If you have interest in having your tunes in the spotlight, check out the FALLEN website link.

As for audience, of course we want people to check out our new show. So paste the link into your browser and learn more about what we are up to.

More soon...

I'm stoked that Janes in Love has finally come to my attention. I didn't realize it was out. The Plain Janes rocked and Castellucci is the kind of multi-layered artist that I love!

Hey Everyone,

An old friend published her first novel that's available on Amazon entitled October's Promise . I'm incredibly excited for her and wanted to share the news with you. She was a terrific mentor for me early in my writing career, so kudos to her for making her dream come true!

Synopsis:
Just because parts of her life are unsatisfactory and dull, there's no reason for Libby Jackson to bolt for New Hampshire, even if she did just receive a large inheritance from a mysterious source. But she does just that. The urban comforts of New York quickly seem light years away when her journey is hampered by cars that won't start, locks that won't turn and a strange dog that has decided that Libby would be the perfect owner.

Quinn Barnett is in no mood for damsels in distress. Her reasons for partaking of New England's fall colors are deeply personal and painful. She's promised to do one thing on this trip, and falling in love isn't it. Once her mission is accomplished she's moving on--if only she can start some cars, unlock some doors and get that bothersome stray to leave her alone.

The golden shores of a beautiful New England lake and the glory of October's sunsets should create the perfect stage for falling in love, unless two stubborn women decide to keep the wrong promises.

Hey Everyone,

Okay, it's been really great.  First, I just wrapped my third novel.  The title...?  Ya know I can't go and reveal just yet.  I'm co-writing a One Hour Drama with producer Shawn Maus and...I'm stoked to hear about the great review from Kirkus for Linda Sanders-Wells debut picture book Maggie's Monkeys (Illustrated by Abby Carter).
__________________________

KIRKUS

A family of pink polar monkeys has moved into the refrigerator, and Maggie's older brother cannot fathom why the entire family is catering to the imagination of his still-thumb-sucking younger sister.  But no one will listen to his protests, and Mom simply says, "Sometimes it's hard to know what's real." When he can't beat them, he joins them, but his imagination is just not up to Maggie's standards. However sick of monkey business he is, though, when his friends threaten his sister's peace-of-mind, he become Horton-like and protects both the pink monkeys and his sister. In her children's debut, Sanders-Wells wonderfully encapsulates the difficulties of being a middle child-simultaneously too old and too young. Carter's masterful facial expressions reflects this inner battle. Her gouache artwork is done in a bright, tropical palette that emphasizes the imaginative theme. While pink polar monkeys may not exist, what is very real is the love and loyalty of a big brother. A humorous tale sure to make siblings smile, even as they inwardly groan.  (Picture book. 3-8)
