Hello, all.
I thought I would check in and let you know where I am and what’s been going on.
I hope everyone enjoyed the Matthew Corbett series. I certainly enjoyed writing it and I hated to leave the characters but Matthew’s story was done and it was time to move on.
I took the opportunity to reflect on where I’ve been and where I’m going. Then I decided to write a musical play, which I finished today, March 23rd. It concerns the last days of a famous (or infamous) fictional figure. There are sixteen songs and two reprises, and I’m hoping it will see the stage around Halloween of 2027. This is for sure not iron-clad, as there of course remains much to do, but I’m hopeful. I’ll let you know more as the project progresses.
Next up, I’m going to finish the Trevor Lawson tetralogy. It’s high time to get the vampire/bounty hunter up and running again in his search for LaRouge and his battle with the Dark Society.
In the meantime, I would urge you to check out the video trailer that a very talented fan has created for the Corbett series, bringing in a lot of scenes from the books. This has been made with AI, and no matter your feelings on this hot-button subject, for a major studio to have made this trailer would have cost multiple millions of dollars.
I will risk being burned at the stake by saying we may be looking at the future of film-making, and that five years from now we may be astounded by what results from this new creative tool. Every new creative tool has met with controversy and become a hot-button issue, but just take a look at this video and consider what will be available in five years’ time. Of course we can’t know the future and probably shouldn’t, but time marches onward and though we may resist what comes out of the looming mists one has to be in awe of the possibilities. So…as they say…it is what it is. The real question is: what can it be?
On to Trevor now, and awakening him from the long sleep he’s been having. I can tell you he’s eager to strap on that gunbelt! Again, I’ll let you know more about the play as the details are hammered down. (Hammer…my favorite movie studio!)
As always, I thank you for your support and readership and for wanting to take this journey together. I can promise you, we still have a long way to go!
Best to you and enjoy your Spring and Summer,
