I'm an author, screenwriter and filmmaker working in film, TV and digital for more than 25 years. I wrote two novels for Simon & Schuster; A REALLY NICE PROM MESS and TALE OF TWO SUMMERS. In 2005, Prom was the winner of the Violet Quill Award for Best LGBT Book Of The Year. In 2007, TALE was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.
