Original fiction and screenplays — novels, short films, sci-fi drama, supernatural thrillers. Writing samples and PDFs available for each.
Writing across forms and genres gives me a hands-on understanding of what works and what doesn't at the story structure level — which is what I bring to every consulting and editing engagement.
