Excellent review from Locus Magazine

I was thrilled to see the following review of my science fiction short story "Emptying the Bunkhouse" in Locus Magazine:

"A tense SF adventure about a group of convict laborers doing what seems to be mining on a dangerous planet – but something strange is going on. The solution is rather involved, but it's intriguing." -- Rich Horton, Locus Magazine


 


You can read the entire short story FREE in the latest edition of Bourbon Penn Magazine:

Watch me pitch my TV pilot "Handler Hank" at the Austin Revolution Film Festival

My TV crime drama pilot script "Handler Hank" was an official selection at the 2019 Austin Revolution Film Festival, and I was videotaped promoting it in their pitch competition. 


This was a one-take, five-minute-maximum presentation, and it hits the high notes of my proposed series. Here's the YouTube link (or you can search YouTube with the term "Handler Hank"):

I'm currently shopping this around, so if you know someone in the TV industry (agent, producer, showrunner, etc.) please feel free to share it.

My TV pilot script has been selected for the 2019 Austin Revolution Film Festival!

I'm pleased to anounce that my crime drama TV pilot script Handler Hank is an official selection for the 2019 Austin Revolution Film Festival. Handler Hank is adapted from one of my short stories, and would make an excellent TV series. Here's the pitch:

Ex-cop Hank Coughlin leads a double life, helping long-term undercover officers secretly communicate with their handlers. His own undercover career ended in bloodshed and betrayal, so he'll do anything—legal or otherwise—to protect the people who now trust him with their lives.
