Hello. Thank you for stopping on my profile! I am an award-winning and produced screenwriter. My screenplay LOST FARE was produced by Elliott Lewis Rosenblatt and directed by Bruce Logan, in 2018. I feel honoured to have had the opportunity to work alongside these two talented giants in the film industry. LOST FARE received numerous accolades and can be found on Amazon Prime. Our world is dynamic and ever-changing! I feel fortunate to be alive, as a writer, at this point in human history! As life continues to unfold before me, at a rapid pace, I enjoy feeling the heartbeat of stories waiting to be developed. I genuinely delight in allowing stories to craft me, rather than me crafting stories! Not to suggest that I don’t put a great deal of imagination, passion, and talent behind my stories, because of course, these elements are essential. I prefer my writing to stand on its own merits.  This is how I know I've done the job correctly. Competition judges have said the following to say about my writing: ‘Richly engaging and compelling,' professionally written in structure and tone,'… 'provocative work,' '...loved the unforgettable characters and even the unforgivable ones,' '...captures the realities of life and shades of grey that we stumble through,' '...a writer worth investing in.' I write all genres and for all budget types. My stories are typically character driven pieces that capture the wide spectrum of human emotions, while highlighting the unexpected moments of human tenderness and heart. I am in the process of marketing two award-winning screenplays.  They are: 1.   A GIFT FOR OONA OWENS, a family-friendly, fantastical adventure.  Competition judges have likened this screenplay to films such as The Princess Bride and Inception. 2.   A MAN NAMED LOGAN, a heart-warming, family-friendly Christmas drama.  Competition judges have likened this screenplay to films such as Serendipity and The Preacher's Wife. from 2019-2022 I have been on a personal writing sabbatical working on writing some new screenplays that fall under the following genres: ·       an action spy thriller. ·       an animated fantasy. ·       a family friendly. ·       an adventure action. ·       a romantic drama. ·       a docudrama [fiction]. ·       a true story. ·       a period piece [1940s].
