About Me

I've been writing for about 25 years, starting with sitcoms like "Benson," "Family Ties," "Love Boat," and others, then TV movies including the Olsen Twins' "Double, Double, Toil and Trouble," and TV movies and miniseries including "Midnight Man," starring Rob Lowe, and the feature film, "The Real Howard Spitz," starring Kelsey Grammer. I created the kids' animated series, "Norman Normal," (65 episodes produced), and write nine hours of the "Relic Hunter" series.

My creativity website is www.BrainstormNet.com, my writing website is www.TimetoWrite.com and the blog is www.timetwrite.blogs.com--at either of the sites, people can sign up for a free monthly creativity and productivity e-bulletin called Brainstorm.

My older books include "Successful Scriptwriting," "Successful Sitcom Writing," and "Top Serets: Screenwriting." More recently, Virgin Books published my book on how to market yourself effectively, "Do Something Different." "Your Writing Coach" will be the next book to be published, in April in the UK and May in the US.
