About

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.

You can also check me out at Quist Interactive, Inc. where I take orders from myself and do regular work, developing web sites, optimizing information for search engines, and creating multimedia, and eLearning applications.

Description

<p>&quot;I am strong, and my flash is bright, And I will defend you and make things all right.&quot; These are the magic words to call upon Manner-Man - a superhero who can help control bullies and teach children ways to be considerate of others. Manner-Man arrives, shouting &quot;To the Rescue&quot;, helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.' He teaches that if someone starts pushing, just shout out &quot;not nice!&quot; Meet the children who form the Manner-Man team and find out how to join! Manner-Man incorporates messages and characters found within some of Cannon's earlier books - helping children learn how to cope with bullies and look within themselves for their inner superhero! This is the fifth rhyming children's book by this award-winning author whose other bestselling books include Gimme-Jimmy, The Magic Word, Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa's Birthday Gift. Former teacher Sherrill S. Cannon has won a dozen awards for her four previous rhyming books and is also the author of six published and internationally performed plays for elementary school children. She has been called &quot;a modern day Dr.Seuss&quot; - GMTA Review. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>

<strong>By Loretta Sylvestre of WordsWellWritten.com:</strong> &quot;Off Track,&quot; 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.
