I am still seeking a new agent. I need someone who will represent all facets of my writing career - novels, screenplays, TV and comic books.

Hi all,

My newest novel, “Necromancer”, has been released by my publisher, Dark Castle Lords Publications:

Hi all,

I get a lot of questions about current and upcoming projects. I wanted to take a few moments to update everyone, as with the latest happenings, I don’t expect to have much time for blog updates for a while.

Books…

“Necromancer”, the second Wendy Markland novel, should be out in the near future. The editing is done, but I’ve yet to be given an exact release date.

I have a draft of the third Wendy Markland book. But it needs a lot of work still before my publisher or editor lay eyes on it!

Film…

One project is progressing steadily, one might even use the word “rapidly”. But I can’t talk about this one due to a nondisclosure agreement I signed. More on that when I can talk about it.

Another project has, in the span of the last few hours, gone from stalled to looking very good. I don’t know how much I should say at this point, so I won’t say much. Yes, I know, I’m a horrible tease! But I don’t want to risk saying something that upsets a producer or build up everyone’s hopes and then have the project to fall through. Long story short, I have until two months from today to turn in a third draft of a screenplay that looks to be in line for development as a possible film for TV. I don’t even want to risk jinxing things by giving the name of the channel at this point. Again, I’ll say more on this when I can.

And, last but certainly not least, the very talented ( and very lovely ) Karita Fleming is hard at work on pre-production of a film version of “Predators or Prey?”, the first Wendy Markland novel. Again, more on that as things develop.

Other News…

I’m still in the market for a new agent. If anyone has the experience and is interested, I want to hear from you. If you want of anyone who has the experience and might be interested, I want to hear from them, please.

Keep watching for more updates as projects develop.

Hi all,

A while back I was asked by book reviewer Joey Pinkney to do a short interview. I agreed and he now has the interview on his website -

Hi all,

Bad news to report, I’m afraid. I no longer have an agent. Long story short, the agent I was working with returned to earlier endeavors and shut down his entire screenwriting/literary division. For the moment, legally, he’s still my agent, though he isn’t working in my interests anymore. As per the terms of our contract, I am unable to sign with a new agent until August, 2009 unless he chooses to void our contract before then.

So, I find myself, once more, in need of an agent. If you are an agent seeking new clients, or know an agent who is, please let me know. I need an agent who will represent all facets of my career - novels, screenplays and comic book projects.

Hi all!

As most of you are probably aware, I self-published my first three novels. The self-publisher I used was Lulu. Lulu provided each of their authors with a blog on their site. Besides this blog, I have been maintaining a nearly identical one on Lulu’s site, as well as several others. However, I have just received word that, due to lack of use by enough people, Lulu is taking down all of their blog pages sometime next month. So, within a short time, my Lulu blog will be gone. I will continue to maintain this and the other blogs.

My Lulu blog page also doubles as a store for each access to my Lulu-published books. Though that page will be gone, the books will still be there and available. They can be found at:

Hi, all!

I have great news to share. It’s finally happened. I have an agent! Anyone interested in hiring me for writing projects or setting up a book signing, please contact him. Contractually, I am no longer able to simply send out work or agree to appear at signings or other appearances. That doesn’t mean that I’m no longer accessible to my fans, though! Far from it, in fact. A large part of why I use these blogs is to keep that accessibility and to stay in touch with you all. But, again, anyone wanting me for an appearance or work, please contact my agent, Scotty Rushing, via the URL

Hi, all!

Wondering about the admittedly odd title of this blog post? Me, too. “What?” is the word probably going through your mind right now. Let me explain…

A few days ago, for no readily discernable reason, the word “Spangwobble” abruptly popped into my mind. ( If you’re now wondering if I’m insane, let me assure you that I am - mental instability being a firm prerequisite for being an author and all ) After the word popped into my mind, I began wondering just who Spangwobble is or what a Spangwobble might be. A couple of things occurred to me, but nothing that I got really excited about. As I thought about it, an idea occurred to me - let my fans tell me just who or what Spangwobble is. So, here’s the deal. I’m going to leave this post on several blogs that I use. I want you to tell me what you think Spangwobble should be. Whichever reasonably all-ages idea seems to be the one posed the most by the end of December, 2008, that’s what Spangwobble will become. Then, whenever I’m able to do so between project deadlines ( I’m currently working on the second Wendy Markland novel for Dark Castle Lords Publications ) I’ll write a short story about Spangwobble and post it on the same blogs that this post will be on. I say “reasonably all-ages” because anyone of any age may well stumble upon the story. Besides, my first two novels were aimed at teens/young adults. Which means they’re part of my fan base. A lot of musicians and stand-up comedians get the audience into the act. Consider this an author’s way of doing the same. So, again I ask you, just who or what is Spangwobble?
