Ron Winter
Ron's three titles --- "Hypocrite" a suspense-filled novel about when the ultimate agnostic runs headlong into the quintessential evangelist and neither man is quite who he professes to be, "Victory Betrayed" based on his real-life experience as a gunner in Vietnam, and "Granny Snatching" the plight of the elderly. All three of his books would shine on the screen and open the minds and hearts of the viewers in fascinating ways.

William Jackson
William Jackson was a phenomenal storyteller. Originally from Honduras, he brought the world two amazing tales of fiction based on real events. "And the Sea Shall Hide Them" recounts the terrifying tale of a clandestine murder at sea where many perished. "The Incredible Death and Resurrection of William Morgan" recounts exactly what the title says, the death and resurrection of a sea captain in the late 1800's. Very compelling story and an historical setting the truly takes you back to those days. William Jackson passed away a few years after we published his books, and in placing them on this website, we honor his memory and celebrate his life. Both books would truly make spellbinding movies.
Mike Slosberg
Mike creates riveting suspense novels "A Baby to Die For," "The Hitler Error," and "The August Strangers," a short story collection filled with humor and drama called "Ten Storiess You Should Read Before They Become Movies," and even a volume of hilarious cartoons with Haiku captions called "Pimp My Walker." After a lifetime at the top of a notable Madison Avenue advertising firm, he's now an accomplished author with more to come.
