I introduced myself when I was brand-new here, but I figure it can't hurt to do it again. I'm primarily a novelist with more than 60 published novels, but I've also written a ton of comic books/graphic novels and a couple dozen short stories (and back in college days, some screenplays, but none recently). My novels cover multiple genres--police procedurals, westerns, horror, thriller, fantasy, science fiction, etc. I call myself genre-promiscuous, because I love a lot of different genres and want to play with them all. I've also written licensed fiction--also called tie-ins--to properties including Narcos, NCIS, CSI (also a CSI DVD game and comics, and one of my graphic novels made a guest appearance on an episode), Buffy, Angel, Star Trek, 30 Days of Night, Conan, Spider-Man, Superman, etc. The picture shows my most recent releases, the Cody Cavanaugh non-traditional western series (book 3 launches next week). These ain't your granddaddy's westerns.
I've had a couple of things optioned but nothing that got beyond that point. I'd love to meet a literary manager who could help get my work noticed in the entertainment world. I'm constantly creating new IP, and have a relatively large library of older work to draw on as well.
Stage 32 is a great, welcoming community, and I'm glad to be here.

Whoa! 60? I feel so inadequate now. Thanks. lol. You have an amazing bibliography. Mine isn't too shabby, but I tip my pen to you.

Great to meet you. I've been a working actor for a number of years, but have over the last couple transitioned into writing. Just finished a Sci-Fi female driven series and another one-hour drama about the underground cadaver trade. I'll def have to check out some of your work. Got a long flight coming up next week so maybe I'll check something out. Thanks for sharing.

Alexander Chance, that underground cadaver story sounds fascinating! Good luck with it, and of course let us know if it's picked up. I want to see that.
