Thank you for your interest in me. Rather than retell what's in my bio., I'll share with you
what's not - namely, where writing this book has lead me. Truthfully, it sent me on an
odyssey I had no intention of taking, nor even any particular dream of doing. Yet that is
the power of magickal things, they seem ever to take us to places we never thought to go.
It was upon a most singular course that they set me. I've been travelling it for as long as
Odysseus took to return to Ithaca (just over twenty years). Yet I'm hoping, like he did, I'll
eventually arrive.
Writing about magick in film lead me into the serious study of film, both from its artistic and
business perspectives. Then it pushed me further, into production work and study. Finally, it
shoved me (I did try resisting), into creating my own, unique development company,
Raven's Wolf Films, founded for the production of commercially competitive dramatic films
with original magickal themes. We have three at present, ranging from feature to epic length
for which we are actively seeking development funding.
Our epic is historical (late medieval/early Renaissance) and set in the EU. Our other two are in
the mystery/coming of middle age and political thriller/horror genres. Those latter are both
set in the U.S. and abroad. We do not disclose plot lines and all scripts are confidential,
except to participants with a 'need to know'. Serious inquiries about our projects may be
Mercury's Marvels is kindly donating all profits from book sales to Raven's Wolf. So if you'd
like to help me put more first quality magickal films into the world, but certainly aren't rich,
I thank you none the less for buying a book!
May you have many blessings indeed!
