My literary hero is G.B Shaw.
At age 15, I was greatly influenced by his play MRS WARREN'S PROFESSION, not so much for the salacious subject matter he made sociable to discuss, but because he taught me to learn another side of judicious morality.
With BETWEEN SUMMERS, I have been mindful to do justice to Shaw's elevated views of morality and the depiction of common decency in those we see as below us and the abuses of those we see as above us.
Scripted mainstream projects in drama, comedy and music for TV and Film
My poetry has been published in the USA and I'm the invited headliner at readings.
I pride myself on successful collaborations to established franchises as well as
writing to targeted audiences, casting and production budgets
I'm a very centered, well adjusted earthy person
-no drugs no drama no demons
but driven!
with an insanely wild imagination, solid work ethic and smart business sense
I offer a unique talent for compelling visuals and controversial dialogue driven in the context of mainstream projects featuring light comedy and music.
