Unique traits: None of us is unique: we are all humans. We are all unique: we are all different. My uniqueness lies in the combination of factors in my background ( medicine, psychiatry, transplant, philosophy, and sport), and the way I have tried to bring these together in writing across a range of genres and formats.

  Film by Dynamic Entertainment/Phil Hawkins Writer (screenplay) "Chris Marshall met the girl he was going to kill on a warm night in early June, when one of the colleges in Oxford was holding its summer ball." A chance meeting with Jenny at an Oxford party leaves seventeen-year-old Chris with hope for a summer romance - and no premonition of trouble.

Before he knows it, he's caught in the sinister web of a criminal whose desire for revenge crushes those who stand in his way. —Philip Pullman (author of underlying novel)
