The Worlds of Michael D'Ambrosio

Welcome back everyone. I had another great weekend at SciFiValleyCon in Altoona with a lot of fun friends and fans. Next stop is Monstermania in Oaks, PA on November 21st to the 23rd. It’s been a crazy week as I just learned that my publisher Quantum Discovery is suddenly out of business. No idea that was coming. Now, I have my hands full trying to recover from this without incurring a long delay. I’ve been in touch with Ingram’s and I’m waiting for a decision on what I can do without Quantum to approve a transfer of book files.

Still waiting for several decisions on my screenplay projects. One, in particular, is really exciting. Unfortunately, I can’t say more on that yet. Not much more to say right now so check back soon.

Welcome back, everyone. Thanks to all who came out to the recent events. We’ve been lucky with great weather and good people. I will be attending SciFiValleyCon in Altoona on Octber 17-19 and hope to see many of you from June again. On November 21-22, I’ll be at Monstermania in Oaks, PA. I hope to see many of my local fans & friends there. On December 7th from 1 to 5, I’ll be at Barnes & Noble in Lawrence Park for a book signing. This is a great store in an ideal location so, if you are local, come on in. I haven’t committed to anything new for next year as of yet. Too many things going on for me right now that require my time and constant monitoring.

Things are quiet on the movie front right now and, despite positive commitments, nothing is etched in stone. In today’s world, contracts aren’t even a guarantee. Hopefully that’s not an issue but time will tell. I hope to have more on my projects soon so check back and see what’s happening.

Welcome back, everyone. Things are going very well right now especially with two successful conventions in a row with excellent book sales. There is a lot going on with my projects right now. Some I can talk about. Some I can’t. So, I’ll try to keep this simple. First, there is a movie deal in the works, but I can’t say which of my projects it is for. I guarantee you will be surprised as I was. I have resisted the chance to sell the rights to my books to a big publisher due to the screenplays and the amount of interest and discussion going on. In the next month or so, I may have more to say on that.

I recently completed a sequel script to The Christmas Solution, obviously titled The Christmas Solution 2. Due to interest, I’m working on a third. Things have been quiet recently on the Night Creeps screenplays as the interested party is currently in production for another project. Hopefully, I’ll have more to say on that soon. It’s a crazy business and you have to fly by the seat of your pants. You can get a whole lot of nothing after investing a ton of time into something but then you can get instant success from out of the blue. No rhyme or reason. Just patience.

After a great and overwhelmingly successful SciFiValleyCon convention, I will return there for their fall convention. The people there treated me very well and the convention is so very organized, I have to do it. Coming up on August 16th is the Parastudy Flea Market at the Parastudy House at 354 Valleybrook Rd. in Chester Heights, Pa. If you are local, you should really check this out. The house is historical and has a ghostly background. The hosts give a great story tell so I won’t ruin it for them. They also host the Delco Horror invasion in September at the Media Community Center. The artists and authors I’ve met at both are really cool. I highly recommend attending either if you get the chance.

Also coming up is Fright Reads Horror Book Festival in Maryland in September, SciFiValleyCon in October, and Monstermania in November in Oaks, PA. More to come as they draw near. Join me again soon for more exciting news and appearances.

Welcome back, everyone. I’m preparing for a trip to Altoona in Blair County, Pa. for SciFiValleyCon on June 13th to the 15th. It’s beautiful country and an excellent convention to spend the weekend at. I was hoping to have some good news to reveal this month but it’s been pushed back until the end of June. For those of you who haven’t attended this convention, I highly recommend it. I will have a table at P19 location so , if you are there, come by for a visit.

On July 11th to the 13th, I’ll be in Lancaster, Pa for Shore Leave. This is another awesome convention. If you like celebrities, they have a lot of them. I’m looking forward to getting back on the road and meeting new friends/fans.

I’ve started on my next writing project, a screenplay titled The Christmas Solution 2. It took a while to develop the plot and the new characters but I’ve finally made it to the script creation. The Space Truckers 3 novel is pushed back a bit so I can focus on the script. Join me again soon for more information and updates on my projects and appearances.

Welcome back, everyone. Spring is upon us and winter is in the rear view mirror. On May 16-18, I’ll be in Altoona, PA for SciFiValleyCon at the Blair County Convention Center. Look for me at table P19. On June 13-15, I’ll be at the Philadelphia Convention Center for FanExpo. Then on July 11-13, I’ll be in Lancaster, PA for Shore Leave. All three of these are exciting conventions featuring celebrities, authors, artists and vendors, so if you have the opportunity to attend, I highly recommend them. I will be posting reminders on Facebook so check in with me on my page for links and details.

I’ve been busy with several projects that have kept me focused on the writing. I’m working on the script for Space Truckers 3 which is based on the second half of the novel Space Truckers 2. I have an existing screenplay titled The Christmas Solution and I’ve decided to write it as a novel as it has a lot to offer in terms of action, drama and exciting Christmas characters.

Exciting things are happening with my screenplays that I can’t reveal yet. What I can tell you is that each book of one of my series will be made into a movie from the screenplays I’ve written. I’m waiting for a confirmation on another series as I have finished the final screenplay that they required for the deal. Very exciting stuff. Until the company makes their press release, I can’t divulge any details. So, more to come. Join me again for an update on my projects and appearances.
