SCREENPLAY

COMICS

A noir revenge story, a modern "vampire" tale, a goth-kid romance. Adapted from Caitlin Kiernan's short story, "Bela's Plot".

Proximity Effect Contest Pitch

Pitched for a contest cancelled shortly after I submitted my entry. Sometimes you can't win for losing. The short set-up: The series looks at pairings througout history of "source" and "siphon" of superpowers. My entry tells of (dauphin/King) Charles and Joan of Arc enacting those respective roles.

Seba - A Kate Muncie Adventure

Conceived as an exercise based on the first sentence, "Mona" grew some long legs.

The script that ended my amateur status. Bought by Atlantis Studios. They later refocused on contract/commission pieces only and were kind enough to allow publishing rights to revert to me. So, you know, I can sell it again.
