A Film I co-wrote, 'All About Eva' (see I.M.D.B. for details), was nominated for a Cine-Talent Award at the 2015 Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (JDIFF).

I have just completed an action thriller screenplay 'Paladin' in the 'Bourne/Bond/Taken' mould with a protagonist with a tragic (Northern) Irish past who... HAS ONE DAY TO SAVE HIS LIFE... IF HE LIVES THAT LONG? And who must confront that past before he can take down that organisation... The one that will stop at nothing to kill him. A local Film Production Company have expressed interest in co-producing it, I also intend to write it as a novel.

I have also completed a novella 'One Cold Kiss' which is equal parts Psychological thriller/Hard-boiled Noir homage spliced with a vein of dark humour that I intend to turn into a screenplay.

What would you do?...

If you woke from a terrible nightmare only to find your beloved Jess missing?

And what if?...

You come to believe she's in the hands of Justin- a scarred, psychopath with a penchant for green paisley.

And then what if?...

You enter his world only to find it a seething snake-pit of hard-boiled P.I.'s, menacing cops, murderous femme fatales, sadistic dentists and grotesque henchmen.

And if that weren’t enough?...

You find yourself shot, almost run over, thrown from a boat and involved in a, literally, cliff-hanging car chase…

And then?...

In a final nerve jangling denouement, as you come face to face with the mercurial Justin himself, you discover no-one, or nothing, is quite what they seem.

For all this and much, much, more…
