A New One-Act Play

Best Guy on The Crew – Featured in Issue Seven of For Page & Screen

My one-act stage script Best Guy on the Crew has just been published in For Page and Screen Magazine. Best Guy on the Crew is a retelling of the tribulations of Job, set amidst the machinations of a mafia crew. And hey, it features a Greek chorus of wise guys spouting off Euripides.

The Best Dark Rain: A Post Apocalyptic Struggle for Life and Love

Seattle is dead. Almost dead. Liz and Pat are the last couple standing. Survival is only half the battle. Living is hard, trusting is harder.

There is precious little room for love in a dead city, a dead world. For not quite everyone died. Better if they had. Armed bands stalk the streets. In the shadows worse enemies prowl, horrible enemies. At the center of this bleak urban waste lies a makeshift fort. It is the refuge of Liz Walker and Pat O’Shea. They are the last living couple in the shell of what was once Seattle.
