Due to the WGA strike these last few months, I wasn’t able to talk much about this project, but I was thrilled to be involved as both a writer and consulting producer on the upcoming LAWMEN: BASS REEVES show that will be out November 5th. While I contributed to the overall story and worked on all the episodes, you’ll want to pay particular attention to Episode 4, since it’s my first “solo” screenwriting credit. I worked with an amazingly talented and generous group of writers, and learned a tremendous amount (screenwriting is much different than novel writing). This sort of work will never replace my love of novels, but I enjoyed it quite a bit, and look forward to having another chance to work on something like this again! Last week I went to LA for the premiere of the first two episodes, and it was unbelievable to see my work come to life on the big screen.
I saw a familiar name while watching Bass Reeves last night. I am happy for your recognition. I really enjoy your novels. Red River was especially powerful!
