About Me

Screenwriter living in the L.A. area, originally from NC with a BA in writing and literature. Most of my scripts are in the scifi or horror genres, and I'm particularly fond of scifi and using it in the classic sense... to convey a message or deal with an issue that says something about the human condition. I also have a novel out called The Infinity Grid (2001), which is a space opera.
