BOUNCE!

My Short Story "Bounce" Featured in DARK HORSES Magazine

I know what you’re thinking, now: “Why don’t he write?” to quote Lt. Dunbar.

Well, I have been writing nonstop since my last post, but little of it has been public. However, that status has now changed as my short story BOUNCE is featured in the December issue of DARK HORSES magazine.

It’s just now out and available; you can find it HERE

I’m very grateful for the movement happening in my fiction. I enjoy writing it and, of course, grew up reading stories like these, so I’m so very pleased.

BOUNCE is a sci-fi time travel story I wrote some time ago; I hope you enjoy it.

In other news, my film TAKE COVER came out and got some good reviews, plus a couple of reviews that were the opposite of that—which happens. As the writer, I find I forget the good reviews pretty quickly, but the not-good reviews tend to linger in my consciousness for quite some time, no matter what.

This is why I was told, “Never read reviews!”

And I get it, I do. That’s the thing about public work: the public responds, and creatives have little to no control over that response.

Part of the business, really. Not every movie is for everyone (that’s a whole other conversation, yeesh), and TAKE COVER was meant for a very specific demographic and, in my view, was very successful at what it was meant to be and who it was meant to entertain.

Plus, my sons enjoyed it, so that’s what really matters.

I am finishing up a new screenplay and then writing a TV pitch. Over the holidays, I plan to outline my next novel, so my creative gremlins are busy beavers.

Many of us have had a challenging few months for various reasons, but please know we’re not alone in this; we’re on this big blue marble together.

Find those like minds and embrace them.

Let me know what you think of the story, and take care of yourselves and your loved ones. I promise you’ll be hearing more from me soon.
