A tribute to David Lynch


Welcome...

​While I also write contemporary fiction, I've enjoyed both reading and watching science fiction since my youth. I've decided to get busy writing some.

I've also created a feature script for Like A Drug and several pilot scripts, from both my current works and innovative ideas.

My motivation comes from the classics: Ray Bradbury, Frank Herbert and Jules Verne. In addition, Si-Fi moves from the Golden Age of Hollywood like War of the Worlds, Planet of the Apes, When Worlds Collide, Forbidden Planet and shows like the Twilight Zone. Modern authors and visionaries also influenced me: Philip K. Dick, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Gene Roddenberry, Eric Kripke.

Futurecast is my first sci-fi novel. I have several others in the works as well.  Like A Drug (formerly The Lofts) is my first contemporary and my first novel. 

I've recently delved into scriptwriting, converting Like A Drug​ into a feature script.

I thank you for visiting my site. Please enjoy what I have to offer.
