  Brandon Ford announces the release of "Creeping Shadows," a collection of 3 short novels by Brandon Ford, Alan Draven (author of Bitternest), and Jessica Lynne Gardner. Featuring dark and gruesome tales of knife-wielding slashers, vicious madmen, and voodoo curses, there's sure to be something for everyone in this 300+ page anthology. Here’s the official synopsis: Monsters come in many shapes and sizes-from the creature in the shadows to the darkness of the human mind. Join three cutting edge authors as they weave fables of mayhem and murder. Alan Draven's “Vengeance Is Mine” It is the year 1888 and the district of Whitechapel, London is terrorized by Jack the Ripper. Prostitutes dread the coming of night as the Ripper prowls the streets for fresh prey. But one of his victims comes back from beyond death to haunt him and show him what it is to live in fear. Brandon Ford's “Merciless” Kidnapped by a madman, two teenage girls form an instant bond in the back of a speeding SUV. Bound and gagged, they face a night of unspeakable horrors. Inspired by a true story, Merciless is a tale of murder, madness, and survival. Jessica Lynne Gardner's “Sugar Skull” Shortly after her father's funeral, strange things begin to happen to Annabel Perez. A detective investigates as poisoned corpses pile up all with the same symptoms of Annabel's father. Together, Anna, her mother and the detective must solve the puzzle to the strange dreams of skeletons, Aztec rituals, and family secrets before they are next. A sinister-looking Mexican sugar skull found in her father's old cigar box might just be the answer ... or the means to her death. Pick up your copy of “CREEPING SHADOWS” at Amazon, Amazon Canada, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble or Tower Books.

Physically and mentally strong, Sean was not only a key part of keeping the film on schedule, but he was also involved in every part of the film's creation, from being a personal trainer to the cast and crew, planning and constructing the enormous sideshow sets, and assisting the producers to appearing in the film as the carnie sidekick to infamous George the Giant (Tim Burton's Big Fish, HBO's Carnivale). Driven and creative, Sean is currently developing Hole, a gripping mystery centered around a Midwestern family. And in November 2008 Sean signed on for the lead role of Detective Stephens for the feature film The Mortal Vampire, written and directed by the Top Dog host of Premium Views, E W Bradfute. “PREMIUM VIEWS” is an interactive, live Internet talk-radio show that focuses on current affairs, the hottest topics, and Hollywood gossip.

  Actor, Director, Producer & Writer Sean Ray

  Born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, Sean Shuford has something many aspiring filmmakers and actors don't: a respect for management and organization. His first job as 1st Assistant Director was the full-length feature film, _Firecracker (2003/I)_, made by award-winning director Steve Balderson (Pep Squad).

  A self-described workaholic, Sean's experience began working as a Sales rep and Manager for many large corporations such as PEPSI and Xerox. Singled out for his excellent customer service and outstanding organizational skills, Sean achieved major success before venturing out to pursue his goals of making films. Though he may seem too good to be true, it all comes very naturally to him. Since his work on Firecracker, other filmmaking teams are beginning to utilize his talents. He just completed work on Venom, an independent film by Brett Bower, working both behind the scenes and appearing in front of the camera.
  
  Driven and creative, Sean is currently developing Hole, a gripping mystery centered around a Midwestern family.

  Premium View with Nathan Sawaya

  Nathan Sawaya is an artist who builds custom three-dimensional models and large-scale mosaics from popular everyday items and standard Lego toy bricks. His unique, one-of-a-kind art creations are commissioned by companies, charities, individuals, museums and galleries. Today Sawaya has more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his New York art studio. His work is obsessively and painstakingly crafted and is both beautiful and playful. Sawaya’s ability to transform LEGO bricks into something new, his devotion to scale and color perfection, the way he conceptualizes the action of the subject matter, enables him to elevate an ordinary toy to the status of fine art. Here is a few places he programs he has appeared on. Mythbusters Nathan gets busted on Mythbusters.

  Lego Blocks not just a toy anymore.

  Nathan Sawaya is a New York-based artist who creates awe-inspiring works out of some of the most unlikely things. His recent North American museum tours feature large-scale sculptures using only toy building blocks. LEGO® bricks to be exact.
  
  Sawaya’s art is currently touring North American museums in a show titled, The Art of the Brick. It’s the only exhibition focusing exclusively on LEGO as an art medium. The creations, constructed from nearly one million pieces, were built from standard bricks beginning as early as 2000.
  
  Born in Colville, Washington and raised in Veneta, Oregon, Sawaya’s childhood dreams were always fun. He drew cartoons, wrote stories, perfected magic tricks and also played with LEGO. Sawaya attended NYU.  After college he rediscovered LEGO but not as a toy, but rather as a medium.
  
  Today Sawaya has more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his New York art studio. His work is obsessively and painstakingly crafted and is both beautiful and playful. Sawaya’s ability to transform LEGO bricks into something new, his devotion to scale and color perfection, the way he conceptualizes the action of the subject matter, enables him to elevate an ordinary toy to the status of fine art.
  
  According to journalist Scott Jones, “Sawaya is a surrealist mash-up of forms and artists. Imagine Frank Lloyd Wright crossed with Ray Harryhausen, or Auguste Rodin crossed with Shigeru Miyamoto, and you start to get a sense of where Sawaya is coming from.”
  
  Sawaya’s art form takes shape primarily in 3-dimensional sculptures and oversized portraits.  He continues to create daily while accepting commission work from around the world.  Check out his work at http://brickartist.com/
  
  His work has been featured in collections including:
  
  •    Lancaster Museum of Art in Lancaster, PA
  •    Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY
  •    Art and Culture Center in Hollywood, FL
  •    Time Warner Center public art display in New York, NY
  •    Qwest Field public art display in Seattle, WA
  •    The Toy Museum in Bellaire, OH
  •    Dreier Collection in Santa Barbara, CA
  •    National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, VA
  •    Central Park public art display in New York, NY
  •    New Orleans Public Library public art display in New Orleans, LA
  •    American Swedish Museum in Philadelphia, PA
  •    Discovery Center Museum in Rockford, IL
  •    Stamford Museum in Stamford, CT
