Their FTL communications are down. It takesContinue readingNew BattleTech Fiction in Shrapnel #2!

Just this morning, I received an email that my horror feature screenplay Where the Devil Resides was just named an Official Selection at the Shockfest Film Festival. *cue happy dance!* What does this mean? Well, I get to add another laurel to the poster below. Maybe on November 13, it will win Best Screenplay. Maybe if I get enough of these, the right people will pay attention when I call them.
