Where can I get your books/ 2 August 22 2004 at 18:51:04 Fullname: Vivian Schilling Email: vivianschilling@aol.com Comments: Thanks for picking Sacred Prey up! I hope you enjoy it. Since Quietus, there's been renewed interest in the book, so the publishers recently gave it a new jacket. That's always an encouraging sign. Be sure and let me know your thoughts.

I've got my copy and am looking forward to settling down for a terrifying read. George, thanks for dropping me an email to remind me to check in once in a while. The dark part of the year never fails to send me into a sort of creative zone where I lose track of all time and space. Aside from that, I've been traveling to fun locations researching my next novel. I still say it's one of the best parts of writing--discovering new people and places. I'm glad you enjoyed Sacred Prey. Thanks for picking it up! I promise to check in more regularly. Until next time -- Cheers! 5 May 23 2004 at 01:57:35 Fullname: george Email: Comments: Vivian, damn your board looks dead...let's keep it alive...i peeked in here to let you know i read SACRED PREY (yeah i'm late in the game), and really enjoyed it. i'll go out and look for QUIETUS soon. i'm sure that'll be equally enjoyable. 6 October 24 2003 at 18:46:50 Fullname: L.

Thanks! Adapting Sacred Prey into a novel was the best thing I ever did for myself as a writer. It gave me new freedom and control within an industry that can leave you feeling completely powerless. Congratulations on making this step! I love to hear of screenwriters taking the plunge into novels. It doesn’t work for everyone, but when it does, it opens a whole new world of story-telling. You may struggle at first, wanting the story and characters to go exactly as your screenplay. As they’re completely different mediums, you have to be open to change. The characters will take on their own voices and the story will most certainly shift. It wasn’t until I started thinking of the screenplay as a mere outline for the novel, that I began to enjoy the whole process. Without the restrictions of screenwriting, I was overwhelmed at first, but once I realized I could jump into my character’s thoughts, go back in time, not worry about film budgets -- basically write exactly what I wanted -- I found it a truly liberating and fantastic experience. My only other advice would be to read novels. Not necessarily in your genre, but outside of your genre. Read classics. There’s a reason they’ve been around for so long. Lastly, have fun with it! Good luck to you and keep me posted on your progress. 10 August 02 2003 at 02:39:06 Fullname: Keith Schaffner Email: KeithSchaffner@aol.com Comments: Hey! I'm a huge fan of yours. I've dug just about everything you've done: "Terror Eyes", "Soultaker", "Sacred Prey", and even your segment in "Invasion of the Scream Queens". I'm currently adapting one of my unproduced screenplays. Since you've taken this path, can you offer any valuable advice? Thanks. 11 July 28 2003 at 18:53:56 Fullname: Harry Shannon Email: Comments: Hello, and welcome to Horror World.
