My writing focus: screenwriting, travel journalism and poetry. My cultural passions are: the performing arts, chocolate and wine making. My preference is to develop compelling human interest stories tied with history and emotion to engage my readers. I believe in observing and listening to the "invisible" people to discover the tragedies and comedies in humanity. The difference is traveling, near and far, romancing with my passions of theater, film, chocolates, wine and beer. The stories are told through the eyes of our neighbors.
