My horror/science fiction/mystery novel, TRISOMY XXI, published by World Castle Publishing, will be released June 6th, 2016, and is available now in paperback and eBook on Amazon.com at www.amzn.com/1629894443, Barnes & Noble, and wherever fine books are sold.
Support a fellow Brahma by purchasing my book, and I will be more than happy to autograph your copy of TRISOMY XXI at our upcoming 50th High School Reunion! I will be donating royalties that I receive from book sales to the Global Down Syndrome Foundation--a wonderful, non-profit charity that helps people with Down Syndrome and their families.
I recently attended the Horror Writers Association Meeting (StokerCon2016) in Las Vegas, and met with three Hollywood Movie Producers to discuss the possibility of turning TRISOMY XXI into a feature-length motion picture (book-to-film adaptation). Time will only tell, so stay tuned and I will keep you posted!

Here is my author profile:
G.A. Minton has been an ardent fan of horror and sci-fi his entire life. Growing up as an Air Force brat, he’s lived in different cities across the U.S., thus allowing him to observe a variety of cultures. When he isn’t writing, you can usually find him out on the golf course, chasing after a little white ball. His other hobbies include reading, traveling, fishing, snorkeling, working out, listening to hard rock music, and watching great movies. He has a wife, a son and daughter, and two Bengal cats.
Weirdly enough, it was only after G.A. was rear-ended by a drunk driver and suffered a closed-head injury, that he developed a newfound passion for writing (known as Acquired Savant Syndrome - a true story, even though it sounds like a fictitious plot for a horror novel). He pens his novels freestyle, almost in a stream of consciousness, relying on no outlines, formats, or templates for assistance—the narrative is able to flow freely from his imagination, ending up with a storyline that contains an ordered sequence of events. One might surmise that the damaged neurons in his frontal cortex had rearranged themselves into a different pattern, thereby enhancing the creative elements in his brain. Who knows? Stranger things have happened! Currently, G.A. is in the process of completing his second novel, a dark, supernatural tale of horror that takes Good vs. Evil to a whole new level!

I fondly remember all the great times Gary and I had at MacArthur, and the fun trips we took to Port Arkansas during our spring break. I saw him at our 40th class reunion, where we laughed and reminisced about all the crazy shit we did in high school! Gary was an amazing person, and he will be sadly missed by all of the people that he touched during his lifetime. Rest In Peace, my friend.

So sorry to hear about the recent passing of Donny Jellison. He was a great guy, and will be missed by many. I lost my Mom, age 92, the day before Donny died, so this has been a very sad week for me. RIP, Donny.

Fellow Brahmas, Class of '67,

I'm looking forward to seeing some of my "old" classmates at our upcoming 50th reunion--hopefully, we'll have a good turnout! Don't forget to bring your copy of my sci-fi/horror novel, TRISOMY XXI by G.A. Minton, and I'll be more than happy to autograph it (you can order your copy of this award-winning tale on my Amazon Books author website at www.amzn.com/1629894443 (Paperback), or at www.amzn.com/B01D3OSZ38 (Kindle/eBook). I donate all of the royalties received from book sales of TRISOMY XXI to the Global Down Syndrome Foundation--a wonderful, non-profit charity that helps people with Down Syndrome and their families. As an update, TRISOMY XXI is still being considered as a candidate for a feature-length motion picture (book-to-film adaptation), and it has won 6 major book awards thus far.Time will only tell, so please wish me luck. My second horror novel, ANTITHEUS, which is already a Royal Palms Literary Award Finalist, is scheduled to be released in October of 2017, in time for a great Halloween read!

Best wishes,

G.A. (Greg) Minton
