Hal Barwood is a veteran writer with multiple credits in multiple media.
Following college (art major) and film school (animation), for twenty years he was a Hollywood screenwriter (SUGARLAND EXPRESS, DRAGONSLAYER, among others).
For more than twenty years after that he was a designer and writer of videogames (INDIANA JONES AND THE INFERNAL MACHINE, YODA STORIES, RTX RED ROCK, many others).
After all those years in the collaborative arts, he has now discovered the solitary pleasures of writing for the page.
His first three novels, SHADOWCOP, BROOMHANDLE, and WHISKEYJACK follow the adventures of an unusual young policewoman, Marianne Sarzeau. She's a good cop with special abilities that help in her work. She is, in short, an adept. Some might call her a witch.
Then came GLITTERBUSH, a story about the discovery of strange plants whose seeds blew in from another world; HAPPENSTANCE, an adventurous crime thriller about stealing an election in Reno, Nevada; and FULFILLMENT, all about a newcomer's misadventures in the perilous world of video game development.
Hal recently discovered that the plants from GLITTERBUSH have spawned mechanical beings. Who knew? The result of his careful investigation are reported in his exciting new book, SANDPEOPLE.
