Lanham has been a professional copywriter and small business owner for over a decade. He made his literary debut as an indie author with the 2016 release of The R.E.M. Effect before going on to complete The R.E.M. Series in 2019 (The sci-fi thriller trilogy is available on Amazon). Now, he's taking his first leap into YA in the humorous sci-fi police procedural, AI: Artificial Incompetence.

He currently lives in northeast Florida with his wife and two sons, and is an avid supporter of promoting literacy in local communities, self-published authors, indie writers, independent bookstores and the small businesses that make living in northeast Florida so special.

I had a lot of fun writing this one. It's also worth mentioning that it wouldn't have been possible without an excellent editor; it's a profession that doesn't get near enough credit. Cheers! (less)

Hi Faith,

Happy to hear you like the book! No plans to stop writing anytime soon; I've been a copywriter and ghostwriter for five years now, and with the addition of fiction to the resume, writing has pretty much taken over my life (in a good way, of course).

On that note, I'm already working on the followup titled "The R.E.M. Project," set to be out spring of 2017. Plans are to release the third and final installment this winter, which will wrap up the trilogy.

So looks like I'll be stuck to my office chair for the foreseeable future. Wish me luck, and thanks for your support!

Why The Running Man Is One of Stephen King’s Most Underrated Novels

With the recent release of The Running Man directed by Edgar Wright and written by Wright and Michael Bacall, I thought it would be the perfect time to read the book for the first time. Seems like the Schwarzenegger movie I grew up watching back in the 90s was on TBS at least once a week, and while I knew it was based on Stephen King’s novel (written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman) I found af
