Development Notes

I’m about 12,600 words into The Field, working off the screenplay/outline. It’s coming along pretty well, and I plan on increasing my daily word count.

This is a new page containing photos, notes, etc. for the ongoing System series. I’m currently roughing out the screenplay for the third installment, which takes place five years after Peabody returns from Mexico in Reckoning in Escobara. The story takes place back in Detroit and might finish in Alpena. I’ve used some of the old Detroit photos and have been scouting new scene locations.

I received these yesterday- this is the first paperback of The System – A Detroit Story – purchased by a reader (Chris).

Here’s the box…

Here’s the book…

Very cool and a big thank you to Chris!

Here’s some System location photos, old and new.
