Some of you Blue Blaze Irregulars may recall that, last year, I wrote the novelization of The Smith Brothers movie
Young Blood: Evil Intentions (see
"Young Blood: Evil Intentions — The Novel," May 24, 2014). Our inestimable producer-director team, Mat & Myron Smith, have begun a
Kickstarter campaign to help finance its publication as well as a number of attendant perks. Depending on the rate pledged, you can get everything from just the e-book of the novel to two DVD movies (
Young Blood: Evil Intentions and the Smith Brothers' second movie,
Invasion of the Killer Cicadas, in which I play the part of the mad professor), a copy of the printed book, an autographed page from the original novel manuscript, and an autographed copy of my most recent novel,
The Monarchs.
Here's the story: "Raised in a torn home, young Anavey discovers she has the ability to make big changes, with even bigger consequences. She, with the loyal help of her little sister Anastasia, form an army of young, blood-thirsty vampires to kill all the adults. No one is safe, especially the girls' mother, Olivia (Rebecca Kidd), and their abusive, overbearing stepfather, Dale Buckmeyer (Myron Smith). Will Anavey’s dreams become a reality? Will Anastasia escape the cult before it’s too late? Will the angry mob put an end to the insanity?"
The novel, which I wrote in close collaboration with the Smith Brothers, takes the events from the movie and delves deeper into the storyline and characters, all while retaining the crucial element of
fun that makes
Young Blood such a gem. Visit the
Kickstarter site and please do consider offering your support.
For a bit more info from ye old author, here are links to a few blog entries I wrote for the original release of
Young Blood: Evil Intentions back in 2012:
