I started writing accidentally. I went to California State University, Northridge to get a degree in film production, but to graduate within a reasonable amount of time, I reluctantly changed my emphasis to screenwriting. I'm so glad I did.
After graduation, I wrote a few screenplays, but never sold anything. Plus, screenplays didn't satisfy my new writing urges. I started writing novels. I have written four, but maybe the first three were practice to get me to write my latest one, "Six Days." I hired a professional editor, Kristen Weber, who has been helping me with drafts for over a year. Here's my awesome logline (if I don't say so myself): after the word succumbs to a lethal flu that kills within twelve hours of exposure, three strangers have three days to cross England, Wales and the Irish Sea.
When I'm not working on my novel, I'm honing my short story writing skills.
