Query/loglines

Hi, I have feature-length and short scripts listed below in the drama,
horror, and children/family genres that I've written, and am wondering
if you would be interested in considering any of them for possible
production? Over 40 of my short scripts have been picked up for
production by various independent producers and/or directors so far,
and information about those can be found on my website. The listed
scripts below are finished and available, and I can e-mail or regular
mail any of them to you or a synopsis first if you'd like to see them.

scripts.

Screenplay credits:

My feature-length script, Sweetest Revenge, was purchased by Mayon
Film, and a second feature script, Sex Confession, is in early
development with Clayborne Entertainment. I've been contracted to write
and have finished the script for The Disappearance Of Tera Smith, based
on a true story, for JDB Productions.

I have a Bachelor's in Social Work, a Master's in Adult Ed/Counseling,
and over
10 years' experience as a child/adult protection social worker, Hospice
social worker,
and mental health social worker. In 2002 I was forced to retire from my
social work
job because of becoming legally blind with RP, a lifelong vision
problem I've had, and turned to writing as a second career.

Since then I've had over 80 entertainment, family, parenting, and
self-help articles, short stories, online children's books, and 2
paperback books published, Peace, and Ruff The Rescue Dog.
