Terry Chodosh retired USSS special agent & debut author of “ Shaloha Gems” a cross cultural Rom-Com Jewish/okinawan

Hi everyone, I’m jumping into this new world with both feet, have lots of experiences to draw on as sources for my new career. During my previous career I had little opportunity to access my innate sense of humor, writing investigative & intell reports, wrote “Shaloha Gems” utilizing my personal life experience, coupled with my prior professional life experience as well as well researched historical fiction involving the heroic Japanese -American 442nd regional combat team’s exploits in Europe during WWII including their liberation of the Dachau concentration camp. I think it would make a great movie! Thanks for this opportunity to introduce myself. Shalom & Aloha!

Hi, Terry Chodosh. Hope you've been doing great! I don't have any experience pitching a novel to producers, but someone in the Authoring & Playwriting Lounge might (www.stage32.com/lounge/playwriting).

Hi Terry Chodosh what a fascinating background. Do you leverage your experiences as a USSS special agent in your work?

Terry Chodosh

Geoffrey, Minimally in my first novel, however I’m writing a sequel involving the theft of millions of dollars worth of diamonds from the Argyle mines in Western Australia, and the trafficking of counterfeit US currency (based on true events)introducing an unorthodox but talented secret service agent who breaks all the rules.

Terry Chodosh my ears pricked up hearing about the Japanese-American team that freed Dachau. I wholeheartedly agree it would make a great movie. Here’s to you finding a way to make it
