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 video games (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, and HAPPENSTANCE, an adventurous crime thriller about stealing an election in Reno, Nevada. Now there's FULFILLMENT, all about a newcomer's misadventures in the exotic world of video game development. You can find out all about Hal and his books by visiting his website:  finitearts.com
