My latest news is astonishing...even to me. My HEAVY METAL short story (published in "Six-Pack of Blood") has been chosen for a short-film. It's in production now by SGMM Productions (out of Florida) with Scott Parrish as director. Please LIKE the FB page my producer, Marie Moore, posted.

HEAVY METAL will star award-winning actress/models Marie Moore as mother; Sammy Moore as Johnny and Gabby Moore as Joyce.

Needless to say, I'm doing the HAPPY DANCE. A long-time dream coming true:

Best with all your works in 2014.

Hugs - Betty Dravis
