I have written 6 scripts. 5 of them in the early 2000s. Sent two of them to festivals. Florida Screenwriting Festival ranked my script in the top 15% of all entries. I moved back to family property to help them. After a few years i began writing for NTF&R Magazine for a year and gained many fans/readers. The subject was Texas secret history and archaeology. I spent 13 years researching and studying archaeology /Egyptology and found a rich source of film material. "Golden Arrow: Ahmose" and sequel will be better than the Indiana Jones franchise. My second outline and storyboard is for "Royal Secrets" which i will write the script when Golden Arrow: Ahmose gets funded. I am acting coproducer for that so my time is limited to spend on writing. I have the outline and story ready for a third script of this series also about ancient history and also based on real archaeology. "Silver Falcon: The King"
