The idea for a hard-boiled, noir vampire story came to me after rereading “Dracula” and following it up with a Raymond Chandler novel, and right away it seemed like it held a lot of potential to be that story.
The novel that resulted is a much darker tale than that depicted in "Moonlight", the show that eventually evolved from it. The mandate from CBS was that they loved the main character and the vampire world, but they wanted the show to have a strong romantic angle. As a result, I ended up being put together with Ron Koslow (creator of Beauty and the Beast, and a man I have come to consider a good friend and mentor) to create a pilot for CBS for the 2006 development season.
What Ron and I came up with was, in many ways a lighter, more romantic version of the dark noir Los Angeledes unrbelly I had created in the book, but it retained many of the novel's themes of redemption and transcendence. A whirlwind year and a half later, despite having built a strong and rabid fan-base, and winning the People's Choice Award for best new drama, the show had sadly come and gone.
There were a lot of ups and downs that went along with creating the show. On the whole, however, being a part of bringing “Moonlight” to life, and seeing the effect it has on the loyal fans who support and loves it still to this day is a great experience.
"Moonlight" a force unto itself. It continues to garner new fans from the airing of re-runs in other countries, as well as here in the U.S. these new fans, like us, hunger for more......
Moonlight won the 2007 People's Choice Award for Best New Drama, and the DVD won the Saturn Award for the 2008 Best DVD Television Release.
