While converting one of my #screenplays into a #novel, my #scifi #comedy #shortstory “Light’em Up” was selected as a Quarterfinalist during the 2025 Outstanding Screenplays Short Competition. It’s third overall selection. #writing #writingcommunity

Since @coverfly.bsky.social is shutting down in August, I’m taking a break from writing my second collection of short stories and converting my #fantasy #screenplay “Heir to the Throne” into a #manuscript.

“Welcome Back/Stay Away”. A #sciencefiction #shortstory about when the wealthy and powerful abandon the Earth for a better planet. But when they come back, they are not ready for what they see. A part of my Ten Tales Collection. #writing #prose

Here is the #shortstory “Mutant Road Rage.” Written as a first-person driving, so you are the main character. Another part of my Ten Tales Collection. #writingcommunity #writing #prose #horror

Here is a #crime #noir #superhero #shortstory from my Ten Tales collection: "Who Murdered the Superhero?" It is inspired by many viewed episodes of "The First 48," but the victim is one of the most powerful superheroes. #writingcommunity #prose #writing

“Retrieval”, introducing an alternate reality game that goes wrong, trapping players inside. A #scifi #comedy #shortstory that is apart of my Ten Tales collection. #writing #prose #author

Here is another #shortstory that is apart of my Ten Tales collection. “Light’em”, a #comedy #scifi #action story about a thief avoiding capture while stealing. #writingcommunity #prose

While sending out submissions for this, might as well promote it too. Here is one of the #shortstories of my collection that I want to #publish. “December 21st”, a found footage short story. Telling stories in a new way. #writingcommunity

The current project I'm working on is another collection of #shortstories, all written by me. Inspiration keeps coming, especially with the new season of "Love, Death, and Robots" on @netflix.com and the #Predator animated film on Hulu. #writingcommunity #author #writing

My series #pitch “Inferno: New Orleans” was selected as a Quarterfinalist in the 2025 @scriptsandco.bsky.social International Festival. #screenwriting @coverfly.bsky.social

This is one of the first projects I created in high school when I was heavily into comics and anime. It is my animated screenplay pilot, "The Enforcers." #anime #comics #scifi #action writers.coverfly.com/projects/vie...

Here is another top project of mine. “Generation Killer”. Placed in contests as a short #screenplay and a #prose #shortstory. Available to read on @coverfly.bsky.social. #scifi. writers.coverfly.com/projects/vie...

Here is my top project so far. “Inferno: New Orleans”, my #scif #horror feature #screenplay, a modern retelling of the Divine Comedy, is in the top 10% of projects on @coverfly.bsky.social and placed high in six different contests. writers.coverfly.com/projects/vie...

My #prose #shortstory “Dream or Reality?”, which is a part of my anthology, was selected as a Quarterfinalist for Season 6 @killershorts.bsky.social.

Starting the new year off right. My #shortstory #anthology “Ten Terrific, Terrifying, and Tantalizing Tales of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Action” placed in the Quarterfinals of the 2024 Horror2Comic Competition. Find out next month if it reaches the semifinals. #horror #scifi #fantasy

Finally, I created an account here. I can't wait to start sharing some of my work and accomplishments. #writingcommunity #author #veteran #comics #anime
