From My Newsletter: The Earliest Ending for I HUNT KILLERS

It's time for another deep cut from the I Hunt Killers vault! This is a short bit this time, but I think it’s a good one... In the very first days of working on I Hunt Killers, I had a dilemma. I envisioned the story as a trilogy, but I knew there was a chance that a publisher would want a single book. So I devoted a tiny bit of time to thinking about what a single book would look like. In fact, in my original proposal, I even wrote this: The book can end two ways. If itʼs a standalone, then Jazz — with his intimate knowledge of his fatherʼs secrets — catches him before he can get out of town and returns him to jail. (The second way, obviously, was the trilogy path.) But hey, guess what? I thought of another option if it was just one book. For a split second, I thought to myself... Well, first I wrote this bit that would come early in the book. G. William says... “I still remember your face the day I came and took your daddy away. I swear, there’s days I think he’s safer in prison than at home with you, Jazz. For a while there, I had nightmares you were gonna walk into my office with a satchel and toss it on my desk and your dad’s head would be inside it.” And then I wrote this bit, which would have been the end of the story if it was just a single, standalone book: G. William watched as the boy came closer, and quite against his conscious will, he found himself going for his gun. “You gonna draw on me, G. William?” Jazz asked. “That what youʼre going to do?” “No.” But he kept his hand near the holster. Jazz dropped the duffel bag on G. Williamʼs desk. It made a wet thud, and something in the way it settled made G. William think of the phrase “a sack full of kittens.” But he knew there were no kittens in there. No, siree. “Iʼve done a bad thing,” Jazz said, and G. William nodded slowly. Sadly. Knowingly. Now, obviously — obviously! — this runs counter to everything that happens in the trilogy. But for about an hour or so in late 2009/early 2010, I thought to myself, “Hell, if this is one book, maybe I should just go super-dark and break people’s brains.” Decided not to. The publisher bought the trilogy. The rest is history. Read the full article

Studios Howl for Hunter’s AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN ROME

40 years after John Landis’s hirsute lycanthrope took to London, An American Werewolf is set to howl again – this time, in Rome.

The brainchild of actor, writer, director and producer Hunter G.Williams, An American Werewolf in Rome will pay tribute to the classic 1981 film while offering its own unique spin on the sub-genre.

Currently being shopped, the script is described as a horror-comedy that serves as a love letter to the classic werewolf film while also showcases the epic history of Rome.

Says Williams, “Here, we’ve a chance to do something incredibly fun but also transport a postcard to Rome into the mailbox of every theater. Further, cinemagoers are ready for another werewolf film that successfully combines horror and humour. Hopefully this silver bullet will be firing shortly.”

Williams’ longtime producing partner, Justin Chien and longtime collaborator, Nadia Lanfranconi are on board in a producing capacity.

Williams’ most recent script The Madness Within resulted in a critically acclaimed 2019 feature.

Nele posso ser quem sou sem ngm fla merda do meu simples jeito de ser meio diferente da sociedade alheia

Ice Control For Wooden Decks

Residential clients will sometimes ask for the snow management professional to not only take care of the driveway and sidewalks, but also clear their deck during a storm. Wood and composite decking will react differently to deicing than the property’s concrete or stone sidewalks. These PlowSite members discuss their experiences with deicing wood decks.

flakesmeangreen: What’s the safest ice control to use on wooden decks? I know rock salt isn’t good for it, but I don’t know what is.

Mike Nelson: We have been doing 350 condo units all with wooden steps for years. We tried sand/salt, but the sand made a mess (tracking in the units). So, we went to straight salt. We also found out that the wooden steps would freeze before the roadways or our concrete walks. You could use treated salt (Iceban or Magic) or maybe try liquid applications (Iceban, Magic, Clearlane, etc.)

G.Williams: We use calcium chloride, it really melts well. It’s a little costly but works like a charm. Plus, it will melt to -20 below zero.

Taconic: The only problem with using calcium on wooden steps or decks is that it will take all the moisture out of the wood and can promote cracking on the deck because the wood shrinks and expands more than usual.

Mower For Less: I have a customer with a new wood deck, just built this summer, and has not stained or sealed it yet. It was built with regular pressure treated lumber. My question/problem is that the customer wants me to use an ice melter on it, but I don’t want to damage the deck. I have told them my fears and the reasons for them. I told them I will do it if they want, but they have to realize the damage it can cause to the deck. What I want to ask is, do you think calcium chloride on a new untreated deck will be OK? Would magnesium chloride be better? Would you think a stained/sealed deck would have better resistance to the damaging effects of the ice melter?

h_riderca: I usually shovel the snow off the deck and then let nature do the rest. After I shovel the snow off my cedar deck, the sun will melt what is left on the deck boards.

Mick: I put down Magic Salt before it snows. It’ll melt snow as it falls and keep it from bonding to the deck. Then just peel off anything it doesn’t melt. A few years ago, one application melted the first three snowfalls because it only snowed an inch or two at a time.

Mower For Less: Does this have any adverse effects on the deck? This customer is a year-round customer who I also do lawn, hedges and cleanups for. So I really want to be careful about the possibility of damaging their new deck.

Andy N.: Just tell them the adverse effects of it, have them sign off on it and do it. If they want it done that bad, just do it.

Grn Mtn: Andy is right, have them sign a letter that says “I, the customer, understand that using ice control products on my new, untreated deck will most definitely ruin it, but I don’t care because I like wasting money, and using sand is just too messy.” Then take their money with a smile and get into the decking business on the side.

Mower For Less: You suggest I word the letter just like that, do you? LOL. I went to salt last week, and I noticed they had applied their own salt to the deck, so I am just going to run with that, and they can ruin it on their own. I would much rather sell new deck board, having them think it was their fault, than sell a deck repair thinking it was my fault.

butler L&S: I do a townhouse complex that has wooden steps and a deck leading to the front doors and I use calcium chloride. Over time, the nails have started to pop up (major pain when shoveling). Other than that, the wood has held up well. Last year they started replacing and rebuilding many of these decks and I made sure they used screws. If the wood is treated regularly you should be OK using calcium chloride in my opinion.

Stumper1620: Just get a pressure washer to sell a deck wash in the spring, get the white salt lines out of the wood, pound the nails down or tighten the screws whatever it has holding it and go for it. Won’t hurt the wood, just stains it. Wash, wait a day and convince them to seal it.

Longae29: Is Magic Salt still the way to go, or has there been a new product introduced that would be more effective? According to their website, the closest dealer to me is about 40 miles away, if there is another product anyone could recommend it would be awesome. The customer calls the wood area a boardwalk. I’m not going to be able to use a ATV with a plow, but a small Toro snow blower should be OK.

Luther: Come on … what’s wrong with a plastic snow shovel?

Longae29: I’m pretty sure most of our sidewalk guys have no idea what a shovel looks like. I’m not that worried about the clearing of it, it’s only a 150-foot stretch. I’m more concerned about what to use to make it not slippery.

Luther: No matter what you go with, the concern would be how it affects the metal framing around the windows and railing (and the wood). Maybe you can also sell them on a product that you can apply to the framing to protect it for any corrosion before winter sets in.

Grn Mtn: Using a Toro or similar paddle-bladed snow blower is an excellent choice. They (the paddles) don’t harm the deck, yet clean it to the wood, making the chance of slipping reduced greatly. Using a liquid deicer sprayed from a pump sprayer will certainly help with any remaining ice, but as you already know this will cause the wood fibers to degrade more rapidly. How about talking with the property management and set up a signage program alerting users of the boardwalk that deicing will only be done in extreme cases and to walk with care?

Longae29: That’s what I figured about the paddle-bladed type. We haven’t dabbled that much in liquids, I did a bit more research, and from what I found I think magnesium chloride is my best bet, which is good because we have five or six pallets of it left from last year, so that’s what I used in my bid.

carmen moreno seems to have men aplenty at her feet. do any of them own her heart?

“Men aplenty” is an understatement, my dear. One couldn’t swing a dead cat in the streets without hitting a gentlemen (and perhaps a few of the fairer sex) who hasn’t fallen for her, if only for a night. Can you blame them? Whether or not they have her heart, though, has yet to be discovered. Sources say they have seen her with Arturo de Marín at questionable hours in the morning, but we already know his type. There is no doubt she knows, too. 

I am told La Reine de la Nuit is quite comfortable in the lap of a certain striking officer, but unless you have an ear for languages, there is no telling what their status is. (I would pay a pretty penny to anyone who could translate their whispers for me.)

If she is looking for some advice, I recommend the brooding gentleman whose shadows darken the corners of L’Enfer on a nightly basis. If you’re able to tear your eyes away from her when she takes the stage, have a look at the way Monsieur Cohen watches her. It will tell you all you need to know.

Three days have passed since G.William took a bullet for Jasper. Only now, after coming to terms with the whole event and his subsequent guilt, does Jasper bother to go and visit G.William. He comes baring get well gifts, but stops outside G.William's hospital door as he hears this...

G.William: Now this is going to sound weird, but, that Jasper Dent...he's like a son to me. I've never had kids before, and never wanted to, but I really connect to that boy. He's so important to me, and nothing bad should ever happen to him. Lord knows his own father was an asshole. I guess I feel like it's my job to be there for Jasper...in the thick, and thin.
