A Fly on the Wall: The Movie is here!

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce that my movie A Fly on the Wall is now up and running. When you visit the Online Novels section, you will find the link to the film at the bottom. Simply click on it. The film takes a moment to download so please be patient. Running time is 45min. There is no rating but there is some adult language and themes.

I wanted to do something different in my second outing as a writer and director. This film, both ambitious and unique, allows the viewer to continuously move through an anniversary party and listen in on the conversations of the guests. It wasn’t easy to achieve this goal and it took many long hours both on the set and in post production to get it to look just right. This is the first time this film is being shown to the public.

The story centers on a group of friends and couples waiting the arrival of their friend Eric to his anniversary party. Trouble is that no one seems to know exactly where he is. As his girlfriend fumes and his best friend takes the blame for his disappearance, we learn about the lives of those invited by listening in on their conversations. Will a high school crush finally lead to something more? Will one woman’s decision to be celibate ruin her relationship? Will Eric ever show up? The answer to these questions and many others surrounding the guests will surprise you.

Enjoy.

September Notice

Hello one and all,

The summer is almost gone which means cooler weather, changing colors of the leaves and a new set of projects. I hope to have my second book out by winter. I am currently in rewrites which is always the hardest part of the process. It takes up a great deal of time but it is nessesary and, at times, a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to giving you all something special.

There is a new story up in the stories section The Turbulent Voyage of Flight 722 to New York. When you have a chance stop by and check it out. And my movie A Fly on the Wall, will be up soon. As soon as it's up, I'll let you all know.

On a different note, I would like to send out condolences to all those who have lost some one due to Hurricane Katrina. I encourage you all to send whatever you can through whatever means you know to help aid those effected by the storm. And I send out my prayers to the children of the hurricane who are still searching for their families. May God's love and light guide them safely back to their families.

Take care
