I have written and published a novel and short story that are "made for the movies". The novel, just-published, is "Out of The Ice Age" http://amzn.to/1rf9aHv a survival/action/adventure story which Amazon's Top 500 Reviewer called "haunting and mesmerizing from beginning to end . . . I could hear the twigs snapping, feel the fire, feel the main character’s heart pounding and I was transfixed from start to finish." Read the whole review: http://amzn.to/VvJdq9 The short story is "Human Beef:The Stampede" http://amzn.to/1uVJmR1 written under the name Jon Abelaine. This is another action/adventure story set in a future where one group of humans raises other humans for food, like human cattle. There is a "cattle" drive, complete with a trail boss and wranglers, and the "cattle" break loose and stampede. This is the making of a very dark "Western" that challenges our ideas and ideals of what it means to be human.
