I now have two novels published, the second one, Ransom Note, was just released... the first is The Twilight's Last Gleaming...here's the Amazon link, check out the reviews down the page... it was ranked a number two best seller for my publisher earlier this year...amazon.com . Here's the synopsis from the jacket of Ransom Note... RANSOM NOTE is a compelling story of a mother's love and a kidnapper’s desperation, and how these two powerful human emotions come face to face. Young Billy Halyard and his two friends, recently new members of an outlaw gang, kidnap a child for ransom. They believe they have the child of a wealthy family, but they mistakenly take the child of a low income working family. When the three learn of their mix up, Billy insists it's a trick to make them give up the child without ransom. Upon learning of the kidnapping, the gang leader becomes outraged. Now, Billy is not only in trouble with the law, but he's also in dangerous trouble with the gang. His nifty plan for easy money quickly begins to unravel and the already tense situation becomes even more desperate. Here's the synopsis for Severance Pay, Copyright 2002, now under construction... Five employees of a major firm show up for work one morning only to find their pink slips on their desks waiting for them. They have that afternoon to pack their bags, clean out their desks, and move on. They lost their pensions, savings, and hope for the future. They’re angry, frustrated, and want an explanation, which they know they will never receive. They want to do something, but they don’t know what they can do to ease their desperate situation. They meet at the home of one of the five to discuss their options. They agree they’re entitled to severance pay, but they know the company would never consider it. They continue to talk among themselves and their discussion goes further, and further askew. In lieu of severance pay, they agree to conspire to murder the top executives of the company. This past August I signed a motion picture contract with Ravenhurst Film Studios in Santa Monica, California, Keith Frey and Richard and Tedi Sarafian (Terminator 3) who are now writing the screenplays for my first two novels... Technicolor has already agreed to distribute the box office and the DVD's worldwide... GZ
