I love telling stories. Throughout my career, no matter the medium, my constant is storytelling. In the late 90s, it was writing short films and short stories. I graduated to feature length screenplays during the 2000s, placing in several festivals and script contests including the Nicholl Fellowship. I also produced and directed one of my own scripts, Save the Forest, that had a small run on the VOD market.

 

In 2010, I moved into scripted episodic stories with The Puzzle Maker’s Son and Scenes from the Movies, two internet series I created and distributed through several internet portals which led to my inclusion into the WGAe. Eventually, I found myself gravitating toward writing novels, novellas and novelettes. I haven’t looked back.

 

I’ve written two novels in the Adam Parker Mystery series — Adam Parker and the Radioactive Scout and Adam Parker and the High School Bully. I’ve also written four novelettes in the Welcome to Brookville series — Paradoxed, The Corn Maze, The Brookville Arms, and The Jar of Pandora.

 

My most recent work is Katie Kennedy, a novel set in the mid-1980s, about a small-town superhero who takes on villains and misogyny in the workplace all while trying to take care of her younger sister. I’m currently working on a third and maybe final entry in the Adam Parker Mystery series and continuing to tell stories in the Welcome to Brookville universe.
