Saying Hi - Print Topic

Posted by: williemeikle, April 26th, 2006, 6:35am

I am a Scottish author just getting into script writing. I have five novels published in the States and three more coming in 2006/7, all in the independent horror press. I also have 2 feature length and 5 short horror scripts doing the rounds.

As well as the novels, I have over 130 short story credits, my most recent sale being to the pro anthology "Nova Scotia", a collection of Scottish SF and Fantasy stories from Mercat Books. My work has appeared in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Greece, Saudi Arabia and India, and my first screenplay sale, a ten minute ghost story, is currently in production with Capital Media Arts in New York. All of my other short stories and novels are available for option.
