I am a screenwriter, playwright and novelist.

I have written three screenplays – Targeted, Workaholic Romance and Christmas Past and Present.

Targeted has been optioned by Nick Annunziata of Il Toro Productions and accepted as a finalist in the 2021 Oaxaca Film Fest Pitch Fest and accepted into the 2021 Hollywood Blvd Film Festival where it was named Best Comedy Screenplay for March 2021.

Workaholic Romance was selected to be included in the 2020 Beverly Hills Film Festival, won the Silver Prize for Comedy in the 2019 Hollywood Screenplay Contest, was a finalist in the Pitch Now Screenplay Competition, was a semifinalist in the 2021 Miami Screenplay Awards and a quarterfinalist in the 2021 Wiki Screenplay Contest.

Christmas Past and Present was a semifinalist in the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival Awards. It had one scene performed at the Los Angeles Feedback Film & Screenplay Festival and another scene (judged best scene) performed at the Los Angeles Romance Film & Screenplay Festival.

I have written 12 plays that have been produced by the Manhattan Repertory Theatre in New York City: Stalked, Stuck, Workaholic Romance, The Pickup, He’s Your Daddy, Accidental Christmas Romance, Clerical Matters, Critical Mass, Sister Mary and the Pagan Babies, The Audible, The Confession and Dinner for Three.
