UNDER WICKED SKY is Here! How it Came to Be Part 1.
My latest novel, Under Wicked Sky, has just hit the market like a battering ram made from a cannibalized car door!
It feels strange to call it my “latest”, though, given the long and excruciating process of conception to completion to release, and the many works I’ve written since.
It’s not unusual for a novel to take many forms and directions en route to completion – much less release – but had I known Sky would have to endure these trails and trials… well, I would have written it anyway. Point is, creating is not always an A to B process. If you care for a peek inside the heartaches and headrushes of writing — stay with me. But I warn you, it is not always an inspiring story.
Under Wicked Sky, like my debut novel Progeny, began its troubled existence as a screenplay. In an effort to give myself an opening for my TRUE ambition, which was to become a film actor.
But that’s for later.
Couched in my youthful ambition was a compulsion to send a message of some kind. With the controversy of global warming just beginning to rear its catastrophic head in earnest, it occurred to me that when this thing really gets going, it’s going to change everything. And not just a little. Folks get cranky when they’re hot. Murder rates rise. Police forces are stretched to their limits. People die just from the heat itself as well. Even if you don’t believe global warming is real, it’s not hard to imagine a debilitating heat like the kind depicted in Under Wicked Sky.
The Carlisle Inn, Sky‘s main setting, is a well-appointed bed and breakfast with high tech air conditioning called Cold-Con, designed specifically to deal with the new crisis. Naturally, people are going to want access to this luxurious cool, and those who are inside are going to fight to protect their shelter. Supply lines cease to flow. Law breaks down. Civilization begins to crumble. Next thing you know — cannibals.
Similar peril would befall the tale itself in its damned and damnable voyage. I began submitting the script here and there, and immediately garnered some interest, though none of these early leads panned out. Then I was cast in an independent zombie film titled One Last Sunset. You can watch it on Amazon:Zombie extras recreate the big dance scene from Thriller on the set of One Last Sunset. Not even joking.
Producer and director Kevin Richmond expressed interest in the script. He had a long way to go with his zombie feature and not a lot of money to work with, and I’m not a very patient guy. In time, no doubt, he would have gotten it done. However, I chose to continue submitting the script.

And there was no lack of interest. But my lust for Hollywood credibility would bury it alive.Here I am re-killing The Walking Dead’s Addy Miller, on the set of One Last Sunset.
