Author S C Cunningham hosts an AuthorsAMA AskMeAnything session

"We got out of Daddy's car and looked out over an ocean of uncontrollable flesh."
The English teacher creased up with laughter. I wasn't sure why, but I learned that day that words could make someone smile ����




















The Penance List has been adapted to film screenplay, it's currently on a desk in LA somewhere and has been given this very kind review ; '
'The Penance List  S I Z Z L E S! An erotic, neurotic, sensual vision that’s rather stunning. Congratulations.'  
It's been suggested that the Fallen Angel Series books would create good three-parter TV series. Am open to both. But with the way TV series are film quality shoots these days and the speed with which they are created, with less chefs involved, I'm erring on the side of TV series.










Having an understanding daughter, and fun-loving, exercise-needing, cuddlesome dogs


















Age - 18 to 88 yrs
Sex -  55% Male / 45% Female
Geographic - 60% USA / 35% UK / 5% Rest of World
Genre - Thriller / Romance / Murder Mystry / Paranormal / Suspense 

When writing I'm targeting my own entertainment and that of my friends. I imagine them lying on a beach, on a sofa or travelling, Ensconced in the book, gasping out loud or giggling to themselves. Then turning to the final page wanting more.
Having worked in the music to film industry, I also write with film in mind. The scenes have to be visually tempting to target film directors/producers/cast/financiers.










The David Trilogy  is here.
The real life experience that sowed the seed for The Fallen Angel Series is here.
 










I create storylines, thats my thing. Sadly gramma and spelling are not my strong point. I always say...  'but thats what editors are for, I'm not gonna do them out of a job'. :-) 
Editors are an important part or your Author Family, if you can afford it go for it.  I talk more about my Author Family here.

So in a nutshell, no, my bad grammar has not stopped me, it's what an editor is for.
Go forth and shine, create great storylines, thats what writing is about, not darn typo's. :-)








).
Suggestions are - The Protagonist or Antagonists name, or job title. The setting. A hook/question. Quote from a poem, song title, the bible, nursery rhymes, the classics, famous speeches - always check copyright.
If needed change it up a bit by adding a verb or adjective. 
Once you've thought of a name/names, research the net to see if any other books/films/connotations are out there.
You only get a few seconds to demand a potential readers interest. Names and Covers are their first point of contact, make them outstanding.





















hmmm, what would Jack and Amy do in a situation like this?'
Am old, luckily my work history helps give fodder to keep things authentic. Anything that I'm itching to write about I chuck at Jack and Amy and see how they handle it. Giving me a fist-punching 'Yes, back atchya!,' to the baddies.
 










The Penance List and here for The Deal, but the most important was one of the first written by an Author I didnt know, it gave me courage early on to keep going, am SO grateful;
'A hard-hitting, forceful narrative that is about as powerful as anything I've seen, writing doesn't get much better than this. This book is hard to ignore and damn near impossible to stop reading.'
Having worked in the music to film industry, I write with film in mind. The Penance List has been adapted to film screenplay. At this stage only a few have read it. The first of which quoted;
'The Penance List S I Z Z L E S! An erotic, neurotic, sensual vision that’s rather stunning. Congratulations.' 
Thank you, thank you, thank you. x
