"A screenplay jihadists will hate and civilized people will love.... Set in Chicago during the holiday season, the story involves a conflict between Husam, a young Muslim man who takes Islam seriously, and his younger brother Jasim. The conflict escalates after Husam is handed a heavy bag by a bearded man and gets on a bus heading downtown.... How is the conflict resolved? In an immensely satisfying way—as fans of Cordair’s work would expect." -- Daniel Wahl, The Objective Standard.

What I'm working on today...

1) Mujahid is still bouncing around in the top 12 or so on Amazon's Screenplay Bestsellers list, topping out at #3 so far, presently at #2 on the Hot New Releases list. Thank you! Continuing thoughts on how to find the right director, as an initial step towards production. 21 great reviews so far - each and every one is so appreciated.

2) Writing new chapter synopses of Part II of the Idolatry series, to the end of re-examining and reviewing this act's structure relative to all that's coming in parts III-V, ensuring I've included what I need here, and including nothing that would be better saved for later. It's extraordinarily challenging creating such a substantial plot, with so many interweaving sub-plots and characters, in serial fashion. Once I publish each part and release it to readers, I'm loathe to have to make any changes retroactively. It will take some courage and confidence to put a lid on this act, particularly, and to trust that I haven't erred structurally. I have solid drafts of 14 of the 15/16 chapters, but there's still substantial editing ahead. Thanks for your patience.

That and laundry and sorting receipts from 2014. :) Happy New Year, all.

Thank you!

Thanks for all your support and purchases, helping “Mujahid” reach #3 on the screenplay bestseller list on Christmas eve, right behind Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. Thanks particularly for the great reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. Hopefully we’ll see this one on the screen in the not too distant future. Wouldn’t that be great? :) http://www.amazon.com/Mujahid-Quent-Cordair-ebook/dp/B00R8QP8NI
