More About Me

After graduating from West Virginia University, I was a newspaper journalist and English teacher. In 1970, two years after my brother was killed in the Mekong Delta, I went to Vietnam as a civilian with USO, where I was director of public relations. Upon leaving the war zone, I was a freelance writer and photographer in Greece, Spain and Germany. Later I owned an advertising agency, was a social worker, and taught history and journalism classes at the college level. Besides writing screenplays, I am the author of "Memories Are Like Clouds" and "A Saigon Party: And Other Vietnam War Short Stories."

Another script, "My Name is Anna Busch," a World War II drama, has been optioned by producer LaMont T. Cain, CEO of The Reserve Entertainment Group, and is in development.

What a hoot! This is a gem of a laugh-out-loud script that Philip & Julius Epstein, Dorothy Parker, Preston Sturges, and Billy Wilder would have loved. Actresses of a certain age should beg to play Shirley, Pauline, and Muriel, the ultimate heroines in the ultimate slapstick chick flick screenplay. This should be made into a film directed by a woman and produced by women. For some odd reason, some men just don’t get chick flicks, or appreciate them. But, thank God, more than half of the world’s population would be laughing so hard while watching this film that tears would be rolling down their cheeks. Very, very funny!
