Martha Stewart and The Bigamist

Before beginning a screenwriting career, I held various positions with the Indiana Family and Social Service Administration, The Indiana Department of Mental Health and Addictions, and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. From my experiences working with diverse populations attempting to overcome tremendous barriers, I co-founded Crowner-Coleman Publishing, a small press dedicated to writing self-help material dealing with relationships, child custody, and co-dependency. Nonfiction writing led me to write fictional stories with purpose, leading me into the world of screenwriting.
My background allows me to write from a panoramic view about the many social ills I see in society. Thus, many of my scripts deal with sensitive topics such as race relations, the judicial system, and sexual abuse. However, everything is not doom and gloom, and, as one good book says, “A cheerful heart doeth good like a medicine.” No writer is one-dimensional, and I love writing stories that generate laughter, and the more insane, the better. I sometimes take a gut-wrenching drama and mix it with a bit of comedy. Sometimes it’s better to laugh than cry or cry and laugh simultaneously.
