Nights of Nicaragua

This is a story about the sound a dream makes when it is finally set free, and the rhythm of a young love that gives it heart. It begins quietly, on a family farm where the air is thick with the scent of earth and promise. It is the story of a young man named Freddy Molina, whose inheritance was not land or wealth, but a seed of music planted by generations past. It is the story of the mentors who helped that seed grow, and of a young love, as authentic and powerful as the music itself, that became its steady beat. The connection between Freddy and Ashley is the soul of this journey—a romance that blossoms alongside the music, each giving strength to the other. Their love story is a quiet melody running beneath the explosive brass and drums, a promise made and kept. Nights of Nicaragua is woven from the vibrant textures of its setting. It is a chronicle of how tradition and innovation can collide, and how the fire of youth, when guided by wisdom and grounded by love, can ignite a nation. But above all, this is a story about the people who gather around a dream. It is about the families who support it, the communities that celebrate it, and the transformative power of a love that fuels the greatest ambitions. So, turn the page and step into the rhythm. The night is waiting, and the stage is set.

Cretan Thunder
The Battle of Crete

Cretan Thunder - The Battle of Crete, is a reckoning combining historical facts with some fictional elements to serve as a narrative theme to dramatize the heroic deeds and sacrifices performed by many unknown civilian Cretan partisans during World War II. It began not with ink, but with silence, thirty years of it. For three decades, Dr. Paris Georgiou carried the weight of Cretes darkest days inside him: the smell of burning villages, the taste of blood on his lips, the shriek of the woman he loved as enemies tore from the world. He buried the memories deep, building a life as a healer in Montreal, marrying Nicole, Daphnes sister and raising children beneath Canadian skies. Nevertheless, the past, as Cretes mountains know well, never truly sleeps. On their thirtieth wedding anniversary, surrounded by their children and grandchildren at Montreals Raki Ba Raki taverna, Paris finally spoke. The story that spilled forth was not just his own, but Cretes: a tapestry of resistance, betrayal, and improbable survival against the mechanized evil of Nazi occupation. It was a confession, a eulogy, and ultimately, a triumph. ---Why now?--- his family asks. ---Because you deserve to know, ---he replies, ---Why you exist.---

Hawaiian Thunder

In the vast tapestry of history, the threads of myth and reality often intertwine, creating narratives that both captivate and challenge our understanding of the world. "Hawaiian Thunder: Curse of the Cloud-Dog" emerged from my fascination with this interplay, drawing inspiration from the rich folklore of the Hawaiian Islands and the timeless legends of vampires and shape shifters. This story begins as a quest to explore not only the supernatural but also the deep connections between culture, identity, and the land itself. The characters of Poki McGuire and Vlad Dracula Tepes represent two sides of a coin—one seeking redemption and belonging, the other embodying the darkness that can consume us all. Their fates collide in a landscape where ancient gods and spirits still hold sway, illustrating how the past informs our present and shapes our future. As you journey through the pages, you will encounter themes of transformation, the struggle for acceptance, and the enduring battle between light and darkness. The lush imagery of Hawaii serves not just as a backdrop but also as a living entity, filled with its own stories and spirits. I invite you to immerse yourself in this world, to feel its heat and its beauty, and to ponder the deeper questions it raises about our place in the universe. Thank you for joining me on this adventure. May the tales of the past inspire you to find courage in your own journey, to embrace the wildness within, and to always seek the light, even in the darkest of times.

Archie's Curse

In a time long past, when clans and chieftains ruled the land, stories of valor, honor, and the complexities of human nature intertwined to shape the destinies of those who dared to challenge fate. "Archie's Curse" explores the age-old themes of power, love, and the consequences of our choices. Set against the backdrop of a kingdom steeped in tradition, this tale unfolds as two warriors confront not only each other but also the very essence of what it means to be a leader, a spouse, and a protector. Through the lens of an ancient custom, the story examines the weight of responsibility and the sacrifices made in the name of duty and honor. As you journey through the trials of Archie, Alexander the Fair, and their families, you will witness the raw emotions that govern their actions—their hopes, fears, and the bonds that tether them to one another. This narrative serves as a reminder that even in the face of conflict, the pursuit of peace and understanding remains a noble endeavor. Join me in this exploration of human resilience, the struggle for identity, and the search for redemption in a world where the lines between right and wrong blur, and where the true strength of a warrior lies not just in his might, but also in his wisdom and compassion.

Alaska Gulag

Alaska Gulag is a suspenseful thriller of horror when the F.B.I. determines that there is an Alaska serial killer on the loose mutilating and murdering law enforcement officials. They send two of their Agents up to infiltrate the State Troopers because they have reason to believe the murderer or murderers are law enforcement officials, themselves.

The author used seven actual cases in the screenplay to display the intensity of police state extremism and what that could create.

Hard Rock High

Hilarious coming of age romantic comedy about a group of young Canadian High School Seniors, their antics, loves and dreams! A group of friends go to Disneyland on Spring Break.
