Salome Magic
Kenya, 1978. Two strong women travel across the country on journeys of deliverance and redemption; one a loyal housemaid who braves her harrowing, abusive past to visit her terminally ill mother, the other her employer, who misses her like family when she doesn’t return from the trip, and embarks on a treacherous journey to find her.

Final Selection
I live with my two children in North Vancouver, Canada. I’m a published novelist and copywriter as well as an emerging screenwriter. My first novel Nondescript Rambunctious won a national first book competition in Canada, and grew into a trilogy of psychological thrillers. The second novel in the series, Savour, was shortlisted for the 2015 Relit Awards. Straight Circles is the final book, published 2018. The complete trilogy is being translated into Dutch, and has been optioned by Calypso 35 Films for a multi-episode TV series called Thirst, for which I’m currently writing the Pilot. I have over twenty years’ experience in design and advertising, and work as a freelance commercial copywriter to pay the bills. Salome Magic is my first feature film.
