Happy Monday! Today's wonderful guest is Paul Skidmore, author and filmmaker in Tennessee. He's the author of short stories "Kindling", "Ciao Bella", and "The Darkness Rolled Over Her", and a novel — God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. In 2020, he adapted "the darkness rolled over her" into a feature film, which is expected to be released in early 2025. the film was produced on a modest budget with a small, but passionate crew, and skidmore hopes the film will have a big impact — saving lives, making friends for life, and encouraging everyone to "keep movin'". an ebook of the short story is available for free today, along with a fun discussion guide at fivecoffeesandabook.com. read the story with a friend and talk about it. his friends call him "Skidmore" or "Skid", and yes, he'd love to have coffee with you. Paul's insta is here and website here. Enjoy!
