Story Behind The Book
Dead Hunt started as a screenplay I wrote for my teenage daughter and her friends to star in as a fun weekend project. The script grew beyond what I could safely, or financially, film.
The script collected dust until I discovered Tee Morris' "Podcasting for Dummies: The Companion Podcast" Inspired by Tee, I rewrote the script into a novel that I could release as a podcast audio book. I later released it in print form.
