(What better setting for a wicked little Goth Nouveau tale?) I recently finished my fourth book and third novel; I am not uploading it to Smashwords because I am querying prospective agent(s)/publisher(s). This recently completed novel is the story of aging siblings experiencing a certain haunting by family ghosts.My foray into the world of screenwriting also includes ten feature screenplays (two are adapted from my books and two are co-authored) and, all of which have placed from Quarterfinalist to Finalist in numerous screenplay contests.Like many writers, I'm an introvert and take the road less traveled. Maybe, if you want to know more about me, you might find clues in my fiction, where some writers hide facts and truths . . . because via my novels, screenplays, and short stories, I hope to speak truth about the human condition - yours, mine, and even those other sometimes under-heard voices, speaking to our existential dilemmas.Currently, I am researching and entering into a frame of mind to write another novel and/or screenplay. I've also been writing songs for tenor ukulele primarily, but some for baritone ukulele as well as guitar. During May and June of 2018, I had the fun and unique experience of working as an extra on the set of Zero, a Bollywood Movie featuring SRH (Shah Rukh Khan) as well as other stars from India. And a decade or so ago, I had a 48-Hour Film experience as a writer, which is my IMDB credit. Fun experiences, but I'm really just an introverted writer!Earlier in life, I was a freelance print journalist as well as a technical writer.view less
