Welcome to my author site where I showcase my work and keep you up to date on coming attractions. Of course, I am most excited right now about my debut middle grade fiction novel, Samantha Smee: A Pirate’s Life, a not-quite-yet-coming-of-age novel on the High Seas. Although this is my debut as a novelist, I first wrote Sammi Smee’s story as an animated film by the same name. Samantha Smee: A Pirate’s Life the screenplay was ranked in the top ten animated feature length screenplays on Coverfly and was considered by the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition to be a “deeply original homage and origin story combined.” Now that I’ve expanded Sammi’s story into a novel, I can see there are plenty more adventures in Sammi’s future.

I also wrote a musical called Star Trek The Broadway Musical based on the original television series and I am currently working on my second screenplay, Tyger in the Night, which at this point still defies a brief description.
