Anthony Westwood: MYSTERY WRITER

Mystery Writer is a series centering around Anthony Westwood, a short story writer and novelist. As people he encounters frequently ask, "can you actually make a living doing that?"

My answer from real life experience would be, "not really, unless you are one of the anointed puppets of the publishers of pablum".

Mystery Writer takes a dry humourous tone about the various crimes, cons and mysteries that Anthony Westwood encounters in his travels. One part Murder She Wrote, one part X-Files and one part... Something else entirely!

Mystery Writer's plots stem from various sources- classic crime fiction, Zombienomicon and its associated spinoffs, themselves a spinoff from Eternium, and from urban legends, modern myths, folklore and the genuinely unexplained.

First animated episode of Mystery Writer is already up. Second one up soon! Also the eps will not be a standard length, just however long it takes to tell the story!

A comicbook will also be published, similarly to TEMPLAR, only with more pages and some Silver Age style articles and features in addition to the comicbook stories themselves. The comics will also be done in a wide variety of styles over its run to reflect the different genres Mystery Writer explores on film...
