Vampires, demons and Nephilim are all over the place. Demonic cults battle for world domination while the rest of the planet are simply pawns in their game. The Defenders of Eden have protected earth from demonic forces since the reign of King Solomon, but today evil's forces have outnumbered those of good. As the cults gain more power the demons do as well. But it was prophesied a man would be born to help turn back the tide, but is thirty-something Victor Locke that man?  Let's hope so. Based on the independent comic book series "Epitaph", published by Night Phoenix Press, this movie would serve as the issue #0 for the series.

You can send this book to me and I'll draw you a special cover.

We're also about to publish the first issue of "Epitaph: The Darksiders". These books will run congruent to the Abiding Lilith storyline. I'm actually writing all the books and writing and drawing Abiding Lilith".  I also plan to write and draw the first issue of "Victor Locke: Demon Hunter" at some point this year, but Right now our efforts will be aimed at publishing the Epitaph books Night Phoenix our company's namesake.

Blackrayne is Back!

My first fiction novel Blackrayne is back on Amazon.com, but on top of that, I am in the process of making my first ePub based ebook. Blackrayne will be available to those will iPad, iPhones and other eBook readers that read the ePub format.

For those who don't know Blackrayne is about a psychologist named Jason Blackrayne who contracted HIV from a sex addict patient he slept with.

Desperate for a cure Jason's becomes a disciple of  Dr. L. Robert Hauss, a former psychologist who claims he can heal any disease based on the "Transcendental Collision" the theory that all energies are one and can be readily manipulated once we've transcended the mental trappings of the mortal world to tap into these energies. Hauss merges the mental with the metaphysical which intrigue's Jason, but there is much danger that lurks in Haus's teaching.

Jason becomes one of Hauss' disciples, but what he doesn't know is one of his Haus's enemies wants to kill Hauss and is willing to take out all of the Hauss followers to do it. If you like modern/urban fantasy I believe you will like this book. And if you have a Kindle this would make a great edition to your reading list. The Kindle edition is only $2.99. And once all the kinks are worked out you will be able to buy the ePub version from the links over  to the right.


I took a little break from shooting Epitaph for the
Christmas and New Years break, but we did shoot something. I actually helped JR2 Productions on a shoot called, "The Perfect Letter". It was shot on the Red Camera with DP Brandon Riley at the helm. 

This film is a strange little diddy written by myself and John H. Rogers III. We shot this in one day after being snowed in at a hotel in Memphis. It was a lot of fun and Epitaph's Marissa Joy stars, as well as John Ross, reprising his role as Lucious from the old JR2 film "La Petite Morte" and myself. You'll have to see it to believe it. Brandon and the guys were incredible and the footage from the Red is absolutely awesome!

First Teaser for the Epitaph: Bread and Salt movie.

 

A higher quality version of the trailer is available at Epitaph Teaser HD. The teaser was edited by our producer John H. Rogers III.

1st Fight Scene for Epitaph: Bread and Salt in the can.

We started Friday morning at 9:00 am. My doorbell rang. A weary Joseph Canales entered with a two liter of Mountain Dew. So I'm like "Hey, man, what's up." We chat for a bit, then he tells me he walked for three hours to get to the location. Apparently he got in at about six or so that morning via Greyhound because his car broke down a day after he'd bought it. Through a series of events he decided to walk from the Southside Greyhound station to our location. I have friend who does this in the summer, walking from Blue Island to the Northside. He does it for exercise.  Difference is, he doesn't have to do an action film afterward.

I got him fed and and moments later Adam our DP got there and Christian Dior Creasy who plays Arcus Fallen and who has been volunteering to do the BTS for us. So for the whole day Joseph and I worked on the construction of the scene as Adam plotted out the angles and all the video elements and Christian shot BTS. We got an amazing fight out of it. Everyone was happy with it when they saw it edited together.

It's funny because when I started putting the scene together for some reason I felt l should reverse the flow of battle, weapons first then martial arts, but when I edited it yesterday I decided it was excellent the way it was, martial arts, weapons and then back to martial arts. I ram really happy how it turned out.
