I'm a screenwriter and author of mostly dark fiction, horror, and thrillers, though I throw in the occasional comedy to throw everyone off the trail.
My script, VICTIM, has been produced by Pierce Williams Entertainment, and is making the festival route in search of a distributor. Check out VICTIM at IMDB - Click Here. I've completed several other scripts for them, all of which are in various stages of limbo. Check out more information in the screenwriting section.
I have a weird thing for cornfields and trains, having something to do with how and where I grew up. You'll notice the imagery in my fiction. In my most recent novels, the main character in HUFFER likes to hang out in the cornfield huffing paint, and OFF TRACK actively incorporates a train and train tracks as a metaphor. Perhaps it is time to visit the shrink.
I am an active member of the Horror Writers Association.

<p>Dr. Bethany McNeal is living her dream as a pediatric resident in one of the most sought-after medical centers in Seattle. Beautiful and intelligent, she’s missing only one thing—love, which she put on hold to focus on her career after ending a tumultuous relationship. Everything changes when she meets Dr. Brent Anderson, a charming and handsome fellow resident. Despite her reservations, Bethany falls for Brent—hard. When she learns Brent is married several months into their relationship, she immediately breaks it off. After graduating residency and going their separate ways, Bethany tries to move on with another man—real estate broker and personal trainer Charles Blakely. But just when things get serious with Charles, she realizes she’s still in love with Brent, and she finds herself caught between the two men, facing a series of difficult decisions and harrowing events that will change her life forever. Will she be able to recover from the vital temptations that turned her perfect life upside down?</p>
<strong>By Loretta Sylvestre of WordsWellWritten.com:</strong> "Off Track," by <a href="http://www.michaelhultquist.com/">Michael Hultquist</a>, is a startling, disturbing, deeply honest novel, and I want the world to know about it. <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/worldsbyloretta/pic/0000244p/"></a> <br /><br />It opens at the moment of critical choice in the unblessed life of twelve-year-old Gary Sanderson, the moment when – beaten, frightened, worn down, and powerless but for the cold metal in his hands – he shoots and kills his father. He pulls the trigger too late to save his mother from the man's cruelty. She dies hours later. The action shifts quickly after that to the time four years later when Gary's world tilts from the holding pattern made possible by imposed structure, and the heavy iron pendulum of choice swings belatedly toward him, as unstoppable as the trains that thunder symbolically through Gary's days and nights.
