THE PULLER in Germany
I’m having fun chatting with Andreas Schiffmann, the German translator for THE PULLER. According to Andreas, the most difficult aspect of the translation was the extensive flora and fauna.
I’m excited about my debut hitting the German market, and it should be soon.

“The Bite” featured on the front page of the Missoulian.
Occasionally I’ll share my nature photgraphy on this website. It was nice to have my bear photo “The Bite” featured on the front page of the Missoulian. So what does this have to do with The Puller? Well, my debut contains a black bear as a character….

THE PULLER reaches top 100 on Amazon
I’m kind of shocked. This morning my debut novel reached the top 100 in horror on Amazon. THE PULLER is now sitting next to books like THE STAND and THE SHINING.
I want to thank everyone who purchased a copy and attended the signings. Seriously.

Media events
It’s been an amazing writing-related week. On Friday, The Missoulian ran an extensive article on THE PULLER and my writing. On Sunday I was thrilled to teach a writing panel with Game of Thrones editor Anne Groell. And this week, I have two signings. The first is a reading/signing at Shakespeare Books in Missoula, 7 pm. The second is a 1-4 pm stint at Hastings in Missoula.

THE PULLER movie option
Hey friends, I’ve known about this news since Halloween, so it’s great to finally spill:
My debut novel, THE PULLER, has been optioned by Hollywood for a movie. I want to thank the extremely talented Sonny Mallhi ( “The Strangers” with Liv Tyler, “House at the End of the Street” with Jennifer Lawrence, “The Lake House” with Sandra Bullock) for his interest in my debut.
Sonny is an amazing producer and I have no doubt he’s going to make THE PULLER shine on the big screen. I also want to thank my agent, Laura Wood, film agent Susan Schulman (The English Patient), Sarah Welsh, and Alex Kane.
I’m thrilled that the harrowing story of Matt Kearns will be translated to the big screen. It seems Matt always has more to say.
THE PULLER is available on Amazon now. Click here to order.
