I'm a retired builder/carpenter living on the outskirts of San Diego, who didn't start writing until after retirement. Since then I've written seven novels and a screenplay. Writing has become a joyous addiction, and I never end the day without a new page or two. In the works now is, The Cannabis Chronicles, the ongoing adventures of Alex Roma, a pot smuggling hippy who might have ingested a bit too many psychedelic mushrooms to be able to discern fantasy from reality. A mugging in Vegas only made his condition worse. Now his life has become a sci-fi adventure. A screenplay series, titled, Trippin', based on the novels, are in the works.
I also wrote a screenplay about a cruise ship from a distant planet that runs into space debris as it nears Earth causing it to malfunction. The monstrous craft slices through LA, and comes to rest in Disneyland. What do you mean it sounds devastating, t's a comedy.
Hope to meet more crazies in the writing and film making biz. I've watched the movies. I know you're out there.
