My Rules For Writers

I’ve made my living with words for over 22 years. Almost everyone in my position has what their ‘rules’ for writing are. Over the past two decades, to this very point in time, I’ve been able to distill down all the fluff to two simple practices that guide me.



Translation: Do the work and don’t care what anyone will think about it as you’re writing it.

‘Simon Sees’ Coming In 2014

Simon-Sees-v1-45


 


For those of you who’ve read the books in my Art Jefferson Thriller Series, in particular ‘Simple Simon’, which became the Bruce Willis film ‘Mercury Rising’, you may have wondered what happened to Simon and Art.


Well, wonder no more. Coming in 2014, Simon and Art reappear in the new Art Jefferson Thriller ‘Simon Sees’ that picks up 18 years after ‘Simple Simon’, when a government effort that rivals the Manhattan Project succeeds in unlocking the brilliance of Simon’s mind…with catastrophic results. And it includes what I believe is the most shocking opening I’ve ever written.


You. Will. Not. See. It. Coming.

The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty

I have to say, based solely on the trailer, the film looks promising.
