I’ve written for stage, the computer games Missing and Sleeping Giant, and had my screenplay produced on screen for the television series Neon Rider.
I’ve indie published several chapter books for kids: the Tri-City Mysteries and Spy Skills for Girls. And, I’ve written four comics, two of my own and two supporting other creative properties, which was a lot of fun! Here’s a peek.
