Wuthering Heights on iTunes, Transformers 2 and The Wildwood Tarot

Well! ‘09 got off to a roaring start!

I can now announce that the first six songs from the Wuthering Heights Musical Adaptation have now been delivered via CD Baby to:

• Apple iTunes (search Mark Ryan)
• Ruckus
• Rhapsody
• VerizonTradebit
• Napster

Six tracks will be available to download either as a single track or as a an EP featuring of course Jenn Korbee, Katie Boeck and Jessica Keenan Wynn. As soon as I get back to the U.S. we'll be working on more material for the production and I'm hoping to finish the whole project during the next few months. This will probably include a screenplay integrating the whole musical framework similar to Moulin Rouge & Sin City style. If you like what you hear, please add a review to iTunes and become a fan on Facebook!

So! I'm actually in the UK right now, talking with a prospective new publisher for The Wildwood Tarot and taking meetings with various possible illustrators for the project. I'm working with world-famous Arthurian and esoteric expert and old mate: John Matthews on the system and we're reverting to the original name for the deck. More news as it develops.

On the Transformers front, I got called back into the studio recently but for what? I am sworn to silence! All will be revealed in good time!

All the best from London!

Mike Grell and I are pretty proud of the graphic novel and we look forward to reading more of your comments.

Special Note of Thanks

A special thank you to Jenn Korbee, who just launched a beautiful new website, for talking up Wuthering Heights Music in her online journal.

Thanks, Jenn, you really bring Cathy to life!

New Pics!

I wanted to personally thank Johnny Gribbin and Steve Malins for kindly digging up and forwarding to me some pics of my days in the services. I've posted some on MySpace but here are a selection for your entertainment!

One picture of me singing Karaoke at a Company "event" was a magical moment that I thought had been lost to history. Apparently not! The officer shooting an orange at point-blank range, and missing, is also a classic!

My personal favorite is my "interrogation" while being forced to listen to Duran Duran for 48 hours...I'd have confessed to anything after that...

Thanks for the memories and laughs chaps! I think...

Enjoy!
