My mission is to help authors and producers write a good story.

My story: After thirty years in the law enforcement business in SoCal - I have a story or two to tell. I have published five books and written or co-written several screenplays. One of my screenplays is currently optioned to Uptone Pictures. My books include Ma Duncan - a true crime account of the last woman executed in California. My latest book is From Darkness Into Lite - a collection of short stories. I understand the need to have someone copy edit your work. You just cannot do it yourself - no matter how good you are. It takes an outside eye to help with all the nuances of getting a quality product on the market. If you're writing a book that includes police procedure - then I'm your guy!
