Craig Weeden

Author's Bio

I'm currently co-writing the film adaptation of PAINKILLER JANE with comic book and graphic novel icon/legend Jimmy Palmiotti. JANE has already been a TV series on the SyFy channel. When it comes to screenwriting, I’ve found my poetry background invaluable. My diamond-heist thriller, LOST STONES, was a finalist in the 2011 Script Pipeline Screenwriting Competition, and it's a Script PIMP "Recommend."
