2013 Neo-Noir LUCKY 7 is available on APPLE TV

Hello. It has been a while since I posted any news. I had a busy Fall 2024/Winter 2025 as I was enrolled in the Graduate Writing Programme with Humber College.

I had a great mentor: Sam Wiebe. He is a Vancouver based crime writer who just published a new instalment in the Dave Wakeland detective series: The Last Exile. More info on his writing can be found on his site: http://samwiebe.com

It was great working with Sam on a new manuscript of a story set in 1980 in Peterborough: Peacock Blue. It's a work in progress still but slowly it creeps ever forward.

My first two manuscripts are still slated for a late 2025 release date with the publisher Galleon Books. Check out Lee Thompson's nice little press from New Brunswick here: https://galleonbooks.ca

More on that in the weeks to come, folks.

If you are intrigued by the cover photo above, it's a shooting still from a film I directed in 2013: Lucky 7. It us up for rent on AppleTV in the USA and Canada, so check it out here: https://tv.apple.com/ca/movie/lucky-7/umc.cmc.5z6p0gcw34m7crxzrbofsjac8

It's a hot and smoky summer here in Canada. It seems that half of northern Quebec is on fire this year. Maybe it will be a wake-up to the folks with their heads in the sand in regards to climate change. We can only hope. It seems as

Some news + a little East-City Noir

Well it's been a quite a while since I pumped out a blog; as I've had a very topsy-turvy few months with hospital stays, physiotherapy, moving ,and trying to get the brain-box functioning properly. But as things have slowly settled down, I've been able
