About Me

I live and work in New Port Richey, FL. I write fantasy, action/adventure, horror and a little bit of science fiction. I have nearly 20 short stories published. My fourth novel, “Predators or Prey?” is slated for release in April, 2008. My first three novels - “Winter’s Rite”, “Well Wishes” and "Gauntlet" - can be found, among other places, by going to http://www.lulu.com/sjhlhjh.I also do my own cover art, as well as having done a stint as cover artist on two locally-published magazines.Recently, I was hired by an independent film director/producer to write scripts for two movies. In early October, 2007 I began to work loosely with a local film production company - 11th Dimension Films. "The Doll", a short film I wrote for 11th Dimension Films, is currently in the early stages of production.I’m seeking an agent, someone willing to work on a purely commission-based agreement. At least to start off with. If you are an agent willing to represent a novelist/screenwriter whose career is beginning to go somewhere I want to hear from you.
