The Yearbook by David Grove

A  writing colleague of mine, David Grove, has just published his first novel entitled The Yearbook. Please take a moment to check out the synopsis and then why not order a copy (synopsis and ordering info below).

Is there someone who lingers in your memory—someone who makes you wish you could revisit your past, knowing what you know now?  At forty-two, Ryan Tremblay still fantasizes about Tracey Simpson, a girl he fell in love with in high school but never spoke to.  When Ryan returns to his hometown after his father’s death, he’s haunted by visions of Tracey.  Then he opens his old high school yearbook one night and stares into her face until he drifts off to sleep.  When Ryan awakens the following morning, it’s June 7, 1991, and he’s eighteen again.  Thus begins an obsessive journey that transcends distance, madness, and time.

Written by Chad Law, Evan Law and Tony Feole and directed by Obin Olson and Amariah Olson, The Shadow Effect also stars Brit Shaw (Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension) and Michael Biehn (The Terminator, Aliens). Distributed by Momentum Pictures, this feature film will be available on demand and on digital HD on May 2nd, 2017.

Protecting both her families, and the host of clones she’s yet to meet, Sarah and those still fighting the fight will uncover the missing pieces of the insidious conspiracy – and finally learn the story behind their origin. Despite the great risk, the fight of her life will either set her and her sestras free, or see them meet their end ...

Midnight, Texas - Extended Trailer Released (NBC)

NBC has unveiled the extended trailer for the supernatural thriller Midnight, Texas premiering this summer, Tuesday, July 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. The series stars François Arnaud (The Borgias) as Manfred, a charming, powerful psychic who can communicate with spirits and finds safety in Midnight surrounding himself with both human and supernatural allies.  Midnight is also home to Bobo, proprietor of Midnight’s local pawn shop (Dylan Bruce, Orphan Black); Fiji, a witch who owns the local wiccan shop (Parisa Fitz-Henley, Luke Cage); Olivia, a mysterious assassin with a weapon for every occasion (Arielle Kebbel, Vampire Diaries); Joe, an angel who knows all of Midnight’s secrets having been around for millennia (Jason Lewis, Sex and the City); Lemuel, a wise vampire with a long history in Midnight (Peter Mensah, True Blood); Creek, an aspiring writer with big dreams who learns her family is harboring a deep secret (Sarah Ramos, Parenthood); and Rev. Emilio Sheehan, who can’t resist the pull of a full moon (Yul Vazquez, Captain Phillips).  

The town of Midnight sits on a veil between the living and hell.  This supernatural thriller takes a journey into a remote Texas town called Midnight where nothing is what it seems.  Where being normal is strange and only outsiders fit in, Midnight is a mysterious safe haven for those who are different -- a perfect place for anyone looking to hide from the outside world.  As the town members fight off outside pressures from ever-suspicious cops, deadly biker gangs, and their own dangerous pasts, they band together and form an unlikely but strong family.

Midnight, Texas is based on the best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris (author of the novels that inspired True Blood) and executive produced by Monica Owusu-Breen (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and David Janollari (Six Feet Under) and produced by Universal Television and David Janollari Entertainment.  The pilot episode was directed by Niels Arden Oplev (Mr. Robot, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).
