      My dreams unleash the imagination in ways that are inconceivable to the conscious mind. Writing is an act of the imagination and I can't always manipulate the outcome. The element of surprise in the act of writing makes it all worthwhile.

      After graduating with a major in Drama and a minor in Journalism, a circuitous route through Charleston, Cambridge, Provincetown, Key West and Nice, France ended in New York where I  studied screenwriting at New York University, the New School and privately under screenwriter Meade Roberts who adapted for the screen Tennessee Williams' plays SUMMER AND SMOKE and THE FUGITIVE KIND. I received an Edward Albee Fellowship for my play PERSONAL EFFECTS with which I wrote the screenplay ZERO GRAVITY . I was a finalist in the Writers Guild East Foundation Fellowships for my play DODGE AND BURN.  IN THE NAME OF LOVE and OUT TO LUNCH were finalists in the Houston Film Festival Screenwriting Competition.  For my play PERSONAL EFFECTS I was awarded a fellowship for production from the M.E.T.
