"I have always thought there was a TV series (or maybe a feature film) in Willie Flambeaux and Randi Wade," he wrote, referencing to characters in his book.
"Those of you who know the story of DOORWAYS, my ill-fated ABC pilot from the early 90s, may even recall that it was SKIN TRADE that I was actually trying to sell back in 1991, when I flew out to LA for a round of pitch meetings. So we're a few decades late."
"The Skin Trade" centres on Willie Flambeaux, a collections agent who happens to be a werewolf, and his friend, Randi Wade, a private investigator, who discover a dark secret behind a series of grisly murders in their decaying industrial city.
Kalinda Vazquez ('Prison Break') will write the pilot and executive produce the show.
Martin will also serve as executive producer.
