THE BOOKS
I had been writing and selling small film scripts for a couple of years when I took a stab at OUTPOST SEVEN. Gus Edwards, award-winning playwright, was visiting at ASU and I asked him to take a look at it and work with me on polishing it for Hollywood. He said the script was too good and to write a book... oh well!
