G. R. Holton

On a warm summer morning in 1962, Robert (G. R.) Holton was born in a little town in Massachusetts. In 2005, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and told that I could no longer work. In 2009, I took an interest in computer games to pass the time. One day I made a friend on one of those online games with chat. Her husband was a Movie Director and he gave me a couple of his screenplays to read. I was hooked. I knew at that point I wanted to try writing.
One night, after days of not being able to come up with a story to write, I had a dream of three teens on another planet and in a cave. This was it; I knew what had to be done. I sat down at the computer and over the course of three months I had written my first science fiction novella, “Soleri” which won the 2010 Best Science Fiction from BooksandAuthors.net. I knew I couldn't stop there, so I continued writing and “Guardians Alliance” was born. I have also published a children’s picture book called, “Squazles” about not judging others. My horror/paranormal novel, “Deep Screams”, has won the BooksandAuthors.net’s Best Science Fiction for 2011. I have also won TheAuthor’sShow.com’s “50 Best Writers You Should Be Reading" for 2011/2012 and again for 2013/2014. My latest published work is “The Mob – A Woman’s Revenge” a 1930’s historical thriller. My current work in progress is a very unique concept called, “VamPyrates: The Search for Blackbeard”. It is the first of a planned trilogy and should be approximately 75,000 to 100,000 words upon completion by mid-summer.
In my other lives, I have taken on writing screenplays which I have done for four of my books, “Deep Screams”, “Dragon’s Bow”, “The Mob - A Woman's Revenge”, and “Teleported” (based on Soleri) all have been optioned for movies by Gilt Entertainment. I have also written an additional screenplay based on the novel by Michelle Izmaylov, “The Galaxy Watch: A Galacteran Legacy”. I am also an actor of both stage and film with such theatrical performances as “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Twelve Angry Men” to having just starred in a short film called, “Paranormal Chasers” by Artistic International Studios and Sexton Creations. I have now signed with a new agent William Bales and the Stars of Hollywood Network.
