The book was started while on the set of Broken Television’s filming of “Memoirs of Wroth City” where I learned so much about the behind-the-scenes magic.
Justin Diemert is both a brilliant film director and an inspiring couch in the art of movie making.
Because I didn’t yet see the theme of Black Veil, the dull and simple working title was “The Movie Book” during the first draft.
There was a struggle to tell the Donner Story respectfully, all the while knowing how such events are often treated in films.
Yes, I researched the gruesome details and effects of eating human flesh and the mental and emotional and spiritual impacts of doing so.
For Black Veil, the use of alternating storylines was taken on as a creative challenge and to share the good and evil behind the player’s veils.
The brilliant cover artist, Fay Lane, actually let me have a small voice with the amazing cover design.
Unlike the cast in Black Veil, without exception I’ve found that actors and actresses are hardworking and dedicated to their art and craft.
Black Veil is another of my ‘slender’ novels. I don’t worry about word counts with any of the writes, but they always seem to end themselves at around 60,000.
I truly enjoy hearing reader’s thoughts and questions about Black Veil or any of the Danser novels. Engaging with readers is one of my main motivations.
