I'd like to thank everyone who posted birthday wishes here and on twitter.  Greatly appreciated. So, what did I do to celebrate?  You mean besides researching propane stocks and unhedged natural gas producers? Well, I woke up early this morning at just a few minutes before 6:00 a.m.  "Why were you up so early?"you may…

With the first draft of Promise of Blood under my belt, I switch gears to another project - a detailed pitch for a fun genre series.  Contacted the production company this morning and told them I'd be sending the document their way by week's end after which we can hop on a zoom and discuss.…
