Books

Scripts: Film & Television
While my books were in development for television (a torturous, convoluted journey with many false starts that predated the streaming era back when there were only three networks for teen live action television), I spent some time spec script writing.

Poetry
I seem to have written a large number of poems (mostly on my phone, while travelling) starting around 2018, one or two of which might even be good. That’ll be for the public to judge after I’m dead, supposing anyone ever gets a hold of my email password.
