Tell You What
My story, Tell You What, is now up at Pindeldyboz. Please stop by and take a gander. We're fresh out of gooses.

Second Post, Second Baby
Ok, so what have I been doing since the last time I updated my old website in like 2003?
Raising children. Many different children.
But as to what have I written and what have I published, well, I had a little story published at Pindeldboz.com a few months back - a piece of flash fiction, about 600 words I think, called A Curve in the Road.
I've got another piece of fiction going to be published there sometime soon, this year I hope. It's another short piece, called Tell You What. I actually managed to sneak a bit of speculative fiction past their cultural sensors (yes, I know how I spelled it). Pindeldyboz is a supercool web magazine, and not just because they have published my work. After you read my story there, wander around for a bit and read some of their other work - it's great stuff.
I haven't written anything Dragonlance-related in a while. But I did collaborate on this for the Forgotten Realms.
I've been editing my own webzine, called Southern Gothic Online. Please pay it a visit.
But mostly, I've been writing screenplays. Yes, screenplays. It's my newest passions. I've completed four screenplays this year. If you are a producer, director, or agent, here are the log lines. If you like what you see, have your people call my people. I'll let you know when I have some people. Until then, write to me.
Or if you are a book publisher and would like to see any of these made into novels, I'm hip to that as well.
The Dragon’s White Eyebrow
With the help of a kung-fu aficionado, an ancient Chinese alchemist, and the drummer from a metal band, a paralyzed Iraq war veteran searches for a lost friend and rediscovers his own strength in the mystical world of the Dragon’s Dream.
Modern magical realism with kung fu action and retro metal music.
Some Day
A gorgeous young woman flees the murderous designs of her jealous, greedy foster mother but finds the courage to confront her with the help of seven bizarre brothers in Lima, Arkansas.
A loose retelling of Snow White, set in Northeast Arkansas, Southern Gothic and country music, Dukes of Hazard and Slingblade.
1,000 Year Heroes
Thirteen kung-fu students, all born on the same day as the millennial flowering of a sacred plum tree, battle it out for a chance at immortality.
Hero meets Highlander. Better than either Hero or House of Flying Daggers.
Current status - entered in the Zoetrope contest, and I sent a copy to Band Apart Productions in March 2005 but I haven't heard back from them.
Sword of the Prophet
Set in 1182 AC, six unlikely heroes are drawn together in Alexandria, where they set out to rediscover a lost city of Egypt, rescue a Sufi priestess, and destroy an ancient evil before it can be reborn.
Historical magical realism, set a couple of years before the events of the movie Kingdom of Heaven -- but this is not a derivative work, it merely takes place in the during the Crusader period and in the same general geographic area. I sometimes call this "Harry Potter meets Indiana Jones behind the Stargate in the Kingdom of Hell."

First Post Baby
I know, I know, it's been forever since I updated my web page and you're just dying to know what I've been doing lately. You just devoured Dark Thane and reread Thieves' Guild for the tenth time and you're like all itchy and stuff, can't wait to read my next trek through the world of Krynn.
Am I right? Tell me I'm right.
No?
Perhaps you're here because you clicked the redirect link from my 20m page. Congratulations. 20m sucks in a big way. I'm leaving that page up because it's the main link in Google and other search engines. I don't have my own web page because I don't need it. A blog is better, right? Easier, more seductive.
Well, for one thing you can leave direct comments for me. You can tell me how much I screwed up the dwarves, ask me if Cael is really Tanis' son, or when I plan to write another Dragonlance novel, or how thick is the hair on my back, or whatever. Yeah, I know, you're excited.
So I'll be posting here periodically, whenever the fit takes me.
Talk amongst yourselves.
