The Nightingale Scripts
Welcome to the Nightingale Scripts. This book consists of a film script entitled Night And Day and the pilot episode for a TV series entitled White Gold Las Vegas. Please read and find out what my vision was for these two projects which were sadly never made. I’ve decided to release them in book form because I believe that if we give up on our dreams that we give up on ourselves.

The story line is good but this is a TV and film script. Can't wait for you to write a new novel Jason, leave the scripts for Hollywood! X
