Just got my first book project sold to a US publisher, a real-life story based on a life of a crook who worked with the Russian mafia. I'm working on a fantasy novel series and looking to expand into my first love, movies. I still get a regular paycheck for writing and editorial work from a corporation I work for but I'm looking to earn enough money from diverse writing projects to make a transition into full-time writing of books and, hopefully, scripts.
