Coming 2025
The first book of the Masks and Bandits Series
This novel series is a dramatic satire based on the point of view of a few key players in the rise and fall of The Masks and Bandits. The first book begins with Catherine, born into extreme power an wealth thanks to her father being a Gatekeeper. She witnesses the horror the Bandits cause on the rest of society, but gets inspiration from the heroic Masks who never fear the Bandits.
Journey into this uncanny reality and find out how the chaotic origin of real-life superheroes and villains came to be and, by the last book, how it all comes to an end.
The Making of The Marigold List
B. A. Steele has enjoyed movies and literature since childhood. Therefore, she decided to attend Cleveland State University to study Film and Digital Media. The Marigold List stemmed from a college project she developed with the help of her screenwriting professor. Only the first act was written.
After graduating with a Bachelor's in Film and Communications (2018), Steele finished the script and had connections with other film industry professionals to help perfect her screenplay. The script was drafted over twenty times thanks to the feedback and re-editing that had to be done to reach the final version. Even though the script was optimized to a professional standard; the competitive market for new writers who get their work optioned, produced, and distributed, are always slim. With that probability, The Marigold List would never reach an audience.
Whether the dramatic screenplay is made into a film or not, B. A. Steele still wanted people to experience her story. To spread the unique fun of reading a script, B. A. Steele decided to self-publish it through Amazon to simply print and distribute the hardcopies and eBooks. The Marigold List is registered with the WGA (Writer's Guild of America) and is copyrighted.
Enjoy a new and thrilling story that brings the darkest emotions to light - just for a moment - in a format that's completely different than any book. Our favorite Hollywood actors study their lines from screenplays in this exact format!
