I'm a produced screen and television writer. I'ver written in genres from supernatural thriller to romantic drama, family, teen, and comedy. I've also written for TV, including on staff for ABC-TV's now defunct Port Charles; written, produced, and directed reality programming and documentaries for The Learning Channel, PBS, and HGTV, as well as numerous television commercials and corporate videos. I've directed such notable corporate films as "Santa Goes Shopping at Frederick's of Hollywood" and "Let's Watch the Big Metal Machine Parts go Up and Down For Twenty Minutes While the Boring Guy Says Stuff." My feature film script Losing Hope was produced by the very indie Epic Films in 2001.
My novel, The Model Man, January ‘06, romantic suspense, was the first in a mass market deal with Kensington/Zebra publishing. My very first novel, the noir Dreamtown, was published by a small press, The Fiction Works, in 2001.
A second romance, Five O'Clock Shadow, was released February 2007, with my novella Rodeo Man released under the name Nikki Alton by Kensington/Aphrodisia, August, 2006. The latter was a finalist in RWA's Passionate Plume contest. And my noir short story, "The Girl & the Gun" is now available through Amazon Shorts.
I'm writing mystery and bigger "general" fiction at the moment. I also do travel writing, and you can find reviews of some of my favorite trips and places around the web and soon -- will post when published - in a variety of magazines and new e-zines.
Other than that: I love my kids, alt country music, my cats and Hawaii.
My Books:
The Model Man
The Model Man has won The Road to Romance Reviewers Award! The Reviewers of The Road to Romance give this award to several books a year that they consider outstanding.
“Genie Davis writes pretty damn well...the book is so sharply observed...and dark edged enough to firmly cross the line into noir.”
- Mark McDermott, Easy Reader
"Davis' romantic suspense THE MODEL MAN is truly a find. The protagonists are interesting; their love affair is convincing; Christy's best friend, Louie, is a delight; and the well-crafted mystery is as entertaining as one of Stephen J. Cannell's television shows." —Diana Tixier Herald - Book List
Dreamtown
A great jazz novel! - Chucks Niles, jazz legend
"She writes with deep understanding. This is a marvelous story of love, redemption and hope" - Olivia Goldsmith, author
...well written and spare…. Dreamtown is about great dreams, self delusions, the great might have beens and the stories we invent for ourselves to deal with the past. - Carole McDonnell, The Compulsive Reader
Are you guys all feeling better?? The play was 'ok'. Not great, became a kind of a rant of man who does not understand women and 'thinks' he wants too, thinks he is sooo understanding, but he really never will, and he isn't really...would love to hear her side!!! =)
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours. " ~Ayn Rand
"charging slowly over wet sand, back to the bench where your clothes were stolen. this is the coastal town that they forgot to close down. come armageddon, come armageddon come"
