Check it out before you buy. This is a
three-chapter taste of my novel of political corruption,
unlikely love and murder.
Joy Ride
This short story starts in a Pocatello shopping mall and
races for a Pearl Jam concert in California as three punk
kids who don't care if they die kidnap an old man who
used to think he didn't want to live.
Real Deal
TV
A short story based on television series idea that I
pitched with Brenda Bell. Two career women run roughshod
over a crew of malcontents selling shoddy merchandise for
a shop-at-home channel that attracts a legion of weird
callers and one stalker who mistakes packaging for love.
Dead Run
The screenplay features an urban sophisticate who flees a
cheating husband, stumbles across a murdered family at a
remote crossroads and is chased on foot into the
mountains by their hired killers. A redneck hunting guide
seems to be waiting like a knight in armor, offering an
off beat love interest, but it's his macho butt that she
has to save. Meanwhile hubby thinks he's coming to the
rescue.
The
Wedding, the War and the Speech
The chronicle of a small group of people, a continent
away from Ground Zero, who tried to do their part to
avenge the terrorists attacks on America. To paraphrase
Dennis Prager, whose daily radio program is syndicated
through KRLA Communications Group, there are times, even
bad times, when it is one's duty to be happy. Otherwise
the bad guys win.
Tracer Gets a New
Car
TV
pilot episode featuring America's first detective family.
John Tracer was an unemployed executive who, after a
fruitless job search, has gone with his boyhood dream of
becoming a private eye, inadvertently dragging his wife
Chris, their two children and cowardly watchdog into
Harm's Way. This time the case involves a fixed Little
League game and a psychotic man hater. Based on
characters from the novels Tracer, Inc.
and Neighborhood
Watch.
Typing For The
Pope
My highly subjective and not always sober impressions of
the four weeks I spent in Rome during the summer of 1987.
I was writing the film adaptation of a play,
The Jeweller's
Shop, by the
late Pope John-Paul II. Unfortunately, the resulting
movie wasn't as good as the great man who authored the
source material.
