Emmett O. Saunders III (Lynchburg, VA)

I am a published author of five books (various genres: THE BELL WISHERS (pre-teen fantasy/book and screenplay adaptation are complete), THE SHAMROCK RUNNER (adult suspense/romance thriller), REINDEER ON THE ROOFTOP (Christmas story anthology), CRATERS OF THE SUN (sci-fi anthology) and LIFE WINDS (poetry anthology). All are on www.amazon.com, with ebook versions on Kindle and Nook. Plus, I've written numerous screenplays, plays, radio scripts and a musical. I won the Collaborative Artists Ensemble competition in 2008 with a one-act play TO THE HEAVENS which was produced at the Gardner Stages in Hollywood as part of Summerplay 2008. Additionally, I won third place in Virtual Ireland's International short story competition with DARK INTENT which I have adapted into a screenplay. And my writing has been commended by such notables as the late entertainer Danny Thomas, actress Ann Jillian and the late but forever cherished Princess Diana. I am an accomplished musician and composer with video projects to view at www.youtube.com/emmett71755 (AVE MARIA, PACHELBEL CANON IN D tribute, and LOCH LOMOND).
