I write to connect. I hope you will join me in this journey.
My screenplays and novels have recently placed in several Screencraft and Final Draft Big Break writing contests. Stay tuned for more news!
I write novels and screenplays and while I tend to have fantastical and science fiction elements in my stories, my focus is always on the relationships between characters. I think a great character driven journey can come packaged in a weird, complicated alternate reality and be just as meaningful as those set in our natural world. Sometimes adding those dimensions can highlight things about us and our world that we might not otherwise pay as much attention to.
All that being said, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I simply find it fun to dream up, create and ultimately learn about strange new concepts and places and I hope you do, too!
I believe the relationships we forge, both the ones that hurt us and those that uplift us, shape us into who we are. I believe a great story creates characters that can validate our lived experience and it is for this that I sit at my computer, hour after hour, hoping to create characters that will be meaningful to you. As a young person struggling with events in my personal life, often it was through books and movies that I felt heard and understood. If I can provide even a sliver of that connection to someone else because of the words I put down on the page and the honesty behind them, then my goal as a writer has been reached.
