An epic scifi adventure that starts in space and ends in the jungles of the Yucatan. The end of the world is near and only a Mexican para-military officer, a Maya studies expert attached to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico and a U.S. C.I.A. operative can save the day. With authentic Central American culture and mythology, fantastic imagery, interesting and fun characters, and a great end-of-the-world plot, this screenplay sizzles. -------------------------------------------- A sci-fi/ horror adventure in the Yucatan originally written in screenplay format, offered here in an amalgamation of both screenplay and book form for, hopefully, a faster and easier read on the Kindle.
After majoring in physics and pre-med at the University of Maine I found myself in NYC working as an executive fundraiser for a multinational non-profit. Six years later I was swimming with whales, running my own adventure dive boat, and searching for sunken treasure. I've been a commercial fisherman, charter boat captain, captain-for-hire, camera boat operator, and Hollywood boat wrangler.
In 1987 I started to write for a few recreational and commercial boating and fishing magazines. I then tried my hand at screenwriting, and in 1998 placed a script in the top 25 of the Nicholl Screenwriting Contest sponsored by AMPAS. In the years that followed I managed to option a few scripts but never hit the jackpot and had one made into a film.
My first book, What They Don't Tell You About Alzheimer's -- about my mother's struggle with AD, was published in 2012. A few months later I published my first novel, Calamity, about a cash-strapped Maine charter boat captain who starts working as a P.I. specializing in maritime investigations.
