I am interested in stories that expand and deepen the way we see our lives and what matters. What excites me is what we are capable of - in the positive sense - rooted in a realistic appreciation of human frailty and the human condition. But hey, life happens regardless! and depending on the context, if my stories can capture the fun, laughter, nonsense, romance, love and nature that can help sustain us, I will find a way. A highly industrious type, I thrive working to a deadline, love working with others on a project, and I write what I care about. I wrote the Kirkus-starred novel "The Journey of Water" after walking 900km solo from London to Geneva and discovering how people too readily give their power away. I tend to have one foot out the door. Life-long voracious appetite for learning and travel, mostly off the beaten track. I no longer dance on tables (well, mostly) ... but I had the pleasure recently to give that attribute to a lead character. Writing is such a pleasure and privilege. It connects me to humanity, expands the heart and so much more.Screenwriting training with L.A.'s Script Anatomy.
