About Me

Since my college years writing has been my first love. In those days, short stories were my strength. Though I enjoyed notable success, but little remuneration, I had to pursue my "paid" career in Electronics which kept me busy over the next forty odd years.

Over fifteen of those years I also followed a family tradition as a professional musician. Those days were great fun and contributed greatly to my overall interest in an appreciation of the arts.

Much later, in 2002, I retired from my formal career in computer technology. Now with time on my hands I found myself again interested in writing and decided to try my hand at screenwriting. Below are a few of the works I've been perfecting.

Completed projects, copyrights (c) 2003-2008, include:

The Other Side Of Christmas - Drama

Based on my novel of the same name, this story tells of the struggle of a terminally ill child who struggles to accept her condition.

Logline:

Her mother dead, a dying girl's fantasy helps her face personal trials and brings her a special wish to see her mother again.

Ranked in the Zoetrope Top Three for November 2008.

Time Stone - Science fiction

This story is based on the idea of an antiquated artifact which has strange powers to shift time, space and dimension. It's always fun to imagine these fantastic things. I continue to work on this project earlier entitled Thread Stone.

Logline:

When Julie and Clark safeguard a strange alien technology, government agents hunt them down using a similar but defective device that activates a time portal and strands them on a hostile planet in the future.

Space Gig - Comedy/Adventure with Sci/Fi setting.

I wrote "Space Gig" as my first try at comedy. Three iterations later finds the script well received but not to the level I would like especially in the comedy area. It too is in rewrite.

Logline:

Kiki Majors and her fledgling crew, stranded on a mining planet, must protect alien workers, defeat ferocious mercenary machines, and capture a murderous corporate raider to get back home.

It's All About The Flowers - Version 4 - Mystery/Drama

"It's All About The Flowers" is a mystery of a different nature which brings characters of very different circumstances together for a journey to the ultimate suspension of belief.

Logline:

A psychologist devotes his life to help the elderly face death when a deadly search for a missing witness, a NASA scientist from his past, makes him a target for termination.
