Thomas Madden, scriptor of Father's Day Ghost Story — the still-in-screenplay son, at least for pitching purposes, from the union of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and Bill Cosby's idealization of fatherhood — has received recognition as the "August Writer of the Month" from the Literary Agent Showcase (a pay for notice web site for various writers getting at least some notice thanks to Madden, a PR pro).
