Writing Update

Adirondack Noir
My next book is slated for release in the fall of 2009. It's a collection of short mysteries that take place in the Adirondack Mountains. The working title is Adirondack Noir but that's probably going to change. North Country Books is the publisher and I'm very excited about it. I edit the book and contribute a story titled Blackfoot Joe. The book features top-notch mystery writers S.W. Hubbard, Angela Zeman, Cheryl Ann Costa and some fantastic central New York talent.

Graphic Novels
The quest for publication continues with the 3 projects I'm working on. JBOD is a graphic novel drawn by Craig Rippon with ink and lettering by Bill Anderson. Craig used to work for Marvel and DC Comics and Bill has inked Spider Man and X-Men. The other project is a children's horror series that features the art of Ronn Sutton who drew Elvira. Bill Anderson is also doing the ink, color and lettering. The final project is a gritty crime drama in a corrupt city and features beautiful women who kill and an amazing villain that has to be seen to be believed. Rick Arthur, who worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is doing the drawing with the amazing Bill Anderson doing the ink and lettering. I've had some interest in big-time publishers so we'll see where we end up.

The Next Writing Project
I have several book projects in the works. I'm currently writing a young adult fiction novel that takes place in 1979. It's not autobiographical but is based upon a world before the Internet, cellular phones and even Cd's. It's sort of like the movie Over the Edge with Matt Dillon. I'm still working on a prequel to JBOD, a science fiction story and a few movie scripts.
