works in progress/projects
In the screenplay category, Mark has recently completed a re-write of his project "Sitting With The Dead" for producers Michele Weisler ("The Ring", "Stir of Echoes") and Susie Landau Finch ("Wake"). They will begin pre-production shortly. His family friendly script "My Summer As A Superhero" is under option with Greg Feldman of Etosha Films, and he continues to work on several new projects while seeking representation.
In the fiction category, Mark is honored to have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize for his work with Northern Frights. He continues to seek representation for his novel Kushtaka and is at work on a new novel project still under wraps. In the past two short years, Mark has sold more than three dozen short stories and an academic essay on slasher films.
Finally, he is collaborating with Joe McKinney on a horror anthology, The Forsaken, for 23 HOuse. It will be somewhat similar to Joe's current zombie anthology Dead Set for which Joe is the co-editor and in which Mark also has a story. See a short promo below....
