The Devil's Tide

Growing up in North Carolina, one of my favorite activities was going to the movies almost every Saturday afternoon. Horror, thrillers, mysteries, sci-fi, whatever the genre, I loved them all. Currently, I am a working psychologist in San Diego, CA. Before that, I had an amazing career as an operational psychologist at the CIA in Washington, DC. And yes, there are many real-life spy stories I can’t talk about. That said, having traveled to more than 45 countries, I’ve learned a great deal about people and cultures around the world. That knowledge and experience provide me with a unique perspective that only enrich the characters and stories I love to write. With a fascination for history and psychology, I am especially drawn to writing horror and thriller screenplays that incorporate a historical twist and/or human frailty. My script, The Devil's Tide, was a finalist in several contests and was the WriteMovies Horror Award winner for 2020. In 2018, I graduated from the UCLA Professionals Program in Screenwriting, and I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA.
