Art by Amber Clark.
Is it not fab?
It captures everything I wanted in this book.
The Ghost’s Talisman is photo graphic novel, or fumetti, written by award winning author and editor Jennifer Brozek and photographed by the award winning photographer Amber Clark. It is the story of an ordinary girl thrown into extraordinary circumstances, a ghost who needs her help, and a sorceress who will stop at nothing to possess both of their souls. The Ghost’s Talisman is told through photos and sets (rather than traditional hand drawn methods) and shot in and around the Seattle metro area.
We are casting for the following roles:
HALEY – A woman in her early twenties; she bares the bruises and injuries from a recent car accident.
XANDER – A man in his early twenties who has been dead for almost a year.
RYAN NORTH – A man in is thirties
AMANITA HAAF – Appears to be in her mid-thirties but is actually far older than that.
DEMON – A costume and make up intensive character

When I’m writing, I’m pretty much head’s down. Right now, I’m all about the Battletech webseries. I’m about to kill off the first NPC and then the first main character. Mostly you will hear, “I wrote 1000 words today.”
I am also working a lot on Apocalypse Ink Productions. We have our regular “get on the same page” meeting on Wednesdays. And things are moving in multiple projects. I’m pleased and not yet overwhelmed.
I have enough to do that I am working to a specific schedule these days. It’s wonderful and busy but not yet to the juggling chainsaws stage. Though, I can see it in the distance.
I have contracts for four anthologies (Beast Within 3, Beast Within 4, Coins of Chaos, Dangers Untold) with a couple more floating in the “in progress” ether. I can already tell you that the month of September is going to be crazy. But I’m looking forward to it.
