I like to write screenplays. You know, scripts for movies. I’ve completed about 8. On this page, I’d like to tell you a little about them and post one occasionally in full or in part for free downloads so you can read it if you’d like. Just keep in mind that the address/phone number/email address posted on the cover of the scripts is more than likely old. I’m going to start from most recent to earliest just for kicks.
The Moon and the Tide
Drama/Comedy – 124 pages
We are not solitary islands adrift on a vast ocean. Like the invisible interplay between the moon and the tide, one act of kindness, one offer of a faithful relationship can have wonderous and momentous consequences.
Melvin is a lonely widower. Casey is the stripper who lives next door with her two kids, Boudroy and Monkey. Together, they weather the storms of loneliness and human cruelty to emerge a family. You can download the first 50 pages below.
All the Pieces
Romantic Comedy – 93 pages
Fay lives most of her life in a fantasy world. Introverted and overtly shy, she focuses all of her attention on writing romance novels and leaves men to her fantasy life. She’s been that way since a boy in her elementary school class embarrassed her nearly to death. Now, she’s nothing more than a puzzle with a few pieces missing.
Sauntering around the edges of Fay’s life is Julian, an extroverted lead singer of a heavy metal band, who may currently be in need of some therapy as well.
After a couple of near-misses in a psychiatrist’s office and a café, Fay and Julian are thrust together as Fay researches for her next novel in a music store. With Julian, the pieces of the puzzle seem to slide into place…
Until Fay finds out that Julian is really the boy from elementary school, now all grown up.
Can Fay overcome her psychosis enough to realize that the one thing she needs to make her life complete is the one thing that really jacked it up in the first place?

The Shelter
Drama – 95 pages
It’s the first of the month, and Jimmy Robinson is digging through his
mail, looking for that one illusive envelope. Once he finds his mother’s
disability check, Jimmy runs off to cash it, forging his mother’s name, so he
can buy a vial of crack. But later, with the crack smoked and Jimmy edging
for some more, he wanders off in search of money. What he gets instead,
after an eventful night, is seven years in the state penitentiary.
After his release on parole, Jimmy ends up at a homeless shelter as he has
no other place to go. As soon as he settles in, Jimmy is already fighting the
system and eager to get back on the streets to get high. But standing in his
way is a strict, but caring counselor named Don Mason.
The first few weeks are turbulent as Jimmy continues to test the limits of
his new prison. As an added danger, Jimmy finds himself surrounded by
fellow addicts. But his own intense hunger is far more crippling.
As Don attempts to draw close to Jimmy, Jimmy draws farther away.
Don tries to teach him the meaning of personal responsibility and
forgiveness. But some lessons are meant to be felt rather than heard,
experienced rather than taught. Download the first 10 pages below.

For centuries it has waited in the woods…waited for a host.

The only remaining colonist, young Benjamin Harcourt, sent to live with a neighboring Indian tribe called the Croatan, is alive to tell the tale. Alive, because he was sent away before the final feeding began…a feeding that would consume the entire town.
To establish better relations, Benjamin is sent to live with and learn from the Croatan. But as soon as he leaves, a member of the colony stumbles upon a cave in the woods and is immediately possessed by a carnivorous spirit. Soon the beast begins to feed on the colony. As the beast feeds, Benjamin trains. He crosses paths with the hot-tempered son of the Croatan chief and forges an unlikely friendship…a friendship that receives a spiritual mandate to hunt out and destroy The Hunger Within.
