WITH “The STATIC Movie” premieres past, I’ve finally time to revert back to authoring. Trying to write while actively involved in filming is like trying to wash and wax a car in the fury of a hurricane. It’s nice to once again have “time” at my fingertips, and “Prophecy,” the prospective third book following TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese, and THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor is back in full swing.

And, don’t fo...

I’M often asked how I as an author (Daniel S. Janik aka Raymond Gaynor/Gary Martine) and publisher (Savant Books and Publications at https://www.savantbooksandpublications.com) how I come up with titles for books, and if the title is really that important. My opin: It’s second only to a book’s cover image. Think of the cover image as a “first look” at someone you’ve never met before, and the title as that person’s name. First, it has to be memorable. Second, it has to be just un...

TODAY is “the day after” both the Hawaii and the International premiere on 25-26 September 2021 of the K. Simmons Productions’ “The STATIC Movie.” As the lead actor, Daniel S.

As author Raymond Gaynor (aka Daniel S. Janik) it is through such “real life” feedback that both my acting and writing continue to improve an...

THE author and actor juices are flowing! Last night I had a dream in which a significant plot twist for my next book, “Prophecy,” was revealed. Jumped out of bed and wrote it all down ink on paper in the dark of the night, then popped back in bed for even more reveals. I don’t know about other authors, but dreams are an important pathway for my muse and characters to “speak” directly to me, and I make it a point to listen.

Today, I hope the reverse will happen: I’m scheduled for ...

YESTERDAY I sent out the seventh of ten publicity clips for THE STATIC MOVIE (Google “The Static Movie Hawaii”) by lead actor, Daniel S. Janik, aka author Raymond Gaynor of Amazon Genre Bestseller THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999693859. What I didn’t mention was that my partner, Setsuko Tsuchiya (who plays “Edna” in The STATIC Movie) and I are Executive Producing the K. Simmons Production of multi-award-winning author A. G. Hayes’ FINDING KATE (...

IF that title makes you think of Ian Fleming, James Bond, Richard Rose or A. G. Hayes, you’re right one, though my now particular choice begins with friends and authors A. G. Hayes or Richard Rose.

A. G. Hayes is the multi-award-winning author of the seven-book Koski & Falk Special Agent and the three-book Kate Keenan Special Assignment series by Savant Books and Publications:

GOTCHA there, didn’t I. It’s not a misspelling. In fact, you might consider today’s post a true foreword to the premiere of the K. Simmons Production of THE STATIC MOVIE airing 25 September 2021 at 7 PM Hawaii Time on Hawaii’s KHON2, KHII and CW, as well as live internationally on https://www.khon2.com.

In the movie, I play Will Gardner, a curmongenous old veteran who’s seen and conquered every challenge life has thrown at him. Until now. This time he faces Alzheimer’s disease, a...

SEVERAL days ago, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by multi-award-winning author and screenwriter, Mr. Richard Rose of THE LAZARUS CONSPIRACIES (Savant 2013), THE GUMSHOE (Savant 2017), COMIC CRUSADERS (Aignos 2019) and RETRIBUTION (Savant, in preparation) fame — https://richardroseauthor.com/blog/f/an-interview-with-static-star-dan-janic.

Several years ago, I had the good fortune of meeting Mr. Kendrick Simmons of K. Simmons Productions, a “Hawaii-wood” based producer of cinematic works (https://kspllc.media). What resulted was Savant/Aignos and K. Simmons Pro...

INDEED, why not? In the authoring world we follow the three literary “C’s:” (1) clear; (2) complete and (3) conciseness in that preferred order. So, as an author, and now an actor about to debut in “The STATIC Movie” on Saturday, 25 September 2021 at 7 PM on Hawaii’s KHON2, KHII and CW, and internationally on https://www.khon2.com on the 25th and 26th, here’s my latest (#4 of 10) clear, complete and concise publicity clip:

NOW there’s a topic worthy of a post, don’t you think? Almost every author and reader would agree that authenticity is more than admirable, it’s essential to a great story and read. Easily said and even easier with which to agree, but what does “authentic” actually mean? Isn’t anything written by the indicated author “authentic” by definition?

My experience is that in life, authenticity is rarely if ever entirely clear. In contemporary-speak for example, authenticity can simp...

IN a recent Science News article by Tina Saey entitled “Most human DNA is not unique to us,” I read that “only 1.5 percent to 7 percent of the collective human genetic instruction book, or genome, contains uniquely human DNA.” Eh? So, in spite of my artistic-humanism sense of being wholly human, I’m actually only less than 10% human? Maybe 20% animal? Or 20% plant (I don’t look green though I do enjoy the sun). Or, as touted in a 10 April 2018 BBC article by James Gallagher entitl...

AND I’m not talking golf here. I’m talking “fore” like in foreknowledge, forewarning, unforeseen, foreboding and, well, why not, foreplay, too. Science Futuring (SciFu) with a generous portion of romance, love, eroticism, and a dash of LGBTQ+ — the perfect combination for a late summer read. THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor, an Amazon genre bestseller, is now available in printed, digital and audio format, the latter read by the incomparable Peter Pollock.

WHETHER you’re interest is in books or movies, things this week are starting to heat up!

As Raymond Gaynor, multi-award-winning author, I’m pleased to announce that the prequel to my co-authored book, QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) with A. G. Hayes, FINDING KATE, has been purchased by K.
