Hey all. Been making my living as a writer (I fancy myself a storyteller) for almost four decades. Started as a playwright, one of my plays, RELAY, was optioned by Warner Bros for a movie, which got me some notice and I started writing for the screen, and to date have had two studio features, 11 movies for television, and work on four series, produced. And many, many others bought, optioned or on assignment, that died on the vine. I've also written five novels. The movie rights to my novel, HONEYMOON WITH HARRY, were bought by New Line. After finishing up some screen work earlier this year, I've been working on two new novels, THE WEDDING GIFT, which is with the editor, the triquel to HONEYMOON WITH HARRY, aptly titled THE LAST HONEYMOON WITH HARRY, and wrote and published a Kindle Vella, SCRAPS which has 28 episodes live on Vella. I am mapping out a second season now and will start writing soon. I love to write, I am blessed to continue to make my living doing it. Ridiculously blessed. And I love other writers and creatives! Most are filled with passion and the need to tell stories drives them. I know that feeling and I love being around others who have it as well.

I am very impressed by your introduction! It's quite a resume you have! Di you knock on doors with your play or it was discovered?
The play was discovered. That said. It was up in Los Angeles. That certainly helped. But I was too naive then to even know what doors to knock on.
