Andres Mann: Author in Largo, Florida.

Hi,

I am here to learn about scriptwriting and making movies. I was an Army Officer and a business executive, now retired. I have degrees in Political Science and International Relations and published three management books and various business articles. Now I am into writing adventure novels with a healthy dose of romance. Currently, I have published five novels featuring the heroine Tess and her colleagues, a formidable bunch of women that everyone has dubbed the Valkyries.

The Tess adventure novels are based on real contemporary events and explore the challenges posed by international political developments and the issues that professional women face in today's world. The setting of the stories starts with the second Gulf War in Iraq and continues up to the current era.

I had the good fortune to meet remarkable people from all over the world, most of them good, others not so much. Some were extraordinarily talented, able to perform well in multiple endeavors. The novels are based on the actions of real people I observed dealing with challenging situations. It is interesting to understand multi-faceted personalities that are fascinating and sometimes evil, making it difficult to make quick judgments about right and wrong.

Themes of the novels include action, intrigue, deceit, obsession, sensuality, the use of wealth to achieve one's goals, the struggle between good and evil.

I started working on the script for the first novel Tess Awakening, and it looks like it is suitable for an exciting TV series. Time will tell.
