Always something new
We aim to update this page regularly, with new posts added whenever there’s meaningful progress to share. This usually means updates every few weeks during active writing periods, and more frequently around book releases, announcements, or major milestones. Rather than posting just for the sake of it, we want each update to feel worthwhile — whether that’s a sneak peek, a new release, a behind-the-scenes insight, or a look at what’s coming next in The Halls. It’s an evolving journey, and this page will grow alongside it.
From screenplay to story
Before The Halls became a novel series, it began as a screenplay. We’ll be sharing selected script versions here so you can see how the story evolved — from visual, dialogue-driven scenes on the page to the more intimate, character-focused prose of the books. These scripts show the original structure, pacing, and cinematic moments that shaped the series, offering a different way to experience the characters and their world. For curious readers, this is a chance to see how scenes were adapted, expanded, or reimagined between formats. It’s the same story — just told through a different lens.
