edit data

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. I've also written plays like WTC VIEW, which premiered at the NY Intl Fringe Festival in 2003, was revived off-Broadway in 2011, and published by DPS in 2012. I also directed a film adaptation starring Michael Urie (SHRINKING, UGLY BETTY) available available on Amazon and AppleTV. ...more
