I'm a prolific author with more than thirty years of professional writing and editing experience, beginning with various Chicago-area advertising and publishing companies. Since going freelance, I've written numerous novels and screenplays, none of which have been sold. My extensive list of writing credits includes: “A Storm of Lead” pays tribute to sci-fi Westerns like "Firefly" and "Westworld," as well as the classic 1960s Westerns like “Have Gun Will Travel” and “Wanted: Dead or Alive.” The 54-page pilot is designed as a low-budget film: only six speaking parts, one internal location (and a few brief external shots in the dust storm), but with all the gunfire and testosterone you’d expect from a Clint Eastwood film, with subtle inclusions of sci-fi elements.
