Hal Barwood is a veteran writer with multiple credits in multiple media. Following college (art major) and film school (animation), for twenty years he was a Hollywood screenwriter (SUGARLAND EXPRESS, DRAGONSLAYER, among others). For more than twenty years since he has been a designer and writer of videogames (INDIANA JONES AND THE INFERNAL MACHINE, YODA STORIES, RTX RED ROCK, many others). After all those years in the collaborative arts, he has now discovered the solitary pleasures of writing for the page. His first novel is SHADOWCOP, the adventures of an unusual young policewoman, Mary Ann Sarzo. Next up is BROOMHANDLE, the further adventures of the same policewoman (who myseriously changed the spelling of her name to Marianne Sarzeau on a sentimental whim. What a gal.)
