As for me, I certainly haven't been posting to this site. I built a little form a while back to take requests for films you'd like to see me write about, but it wasn't working properly in all browsers so I disabled it. If there's something you'd like me to clock, hit me up on Instagram or Goodreads.
Our new book is out in September. It's actually available to order now, but printing and shipping issues due to pandemic and politics will likely keep it out of people's hands for a while.

Someday I'll write a post comparing spec screenwriting vs. books. I've got strong opinions. For now I'm trying to take as much advantage as I can of this down time to finish writing another book, then get started on another.
