I completed a screenplay, "Shady Side of the Street". to much praise and modest
interest from production companies. want to read it? (copies available)

I wrote this series of "instant fiction" snippets, one published in a collection

"The Martini That Saved My Life", "Appointment with Nobody", "Reflection in the Dark", "Love for Lunch (Seperate Checks)"
