NEWSJAN2012:

It's Monday evening and the year of Armageddon has arrived. Although the world will end before we see the magical number thirteen after twenty, I will continue to write and remember that nothing is unchangeable. Currently, as far as I know, a film team and a bunch of actors are giving life to a short werewolf screenplay I co-wrote with my good friend David. A couple of short comic stories are due to see print or digital release this year, as well. All things eventually see the light of life, it seems.

This year will see a lot of focus on screenwriting, and come December I hope to have three feature screenplays on my desk. Two animation projects and a thiller I'm co-writing with fellow scribe Robert. But rest assured, I will continue with comics as well, and the scripting of a secret project with fellow writer Michael is now coming to a temporary stop as we plan to shop the project around. And on top of that I'm creating a children's horror tale with the brilliant Lee Robinson.

The Vessel of Terror continues to receive brilliant reviews and this year you can meet the crew behind the book at the London Super Comic Con this February, the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo in April, and the Oslo Comic Expo in Norway in June. See above for details on how to get the graphic novel and connect with our Facebook and Twitter site. And before 2012 is over, I do hope to get started with a sequal to The Vessel of Terror.
