Writing Projects:
Lacuna (TV Script), co-created with Gail Rose Bello
Lacuna is a city of spatial manipulation magic and a curious paradise; everyone seems to be happy behind the barrier that protects them from the outside world. But if Leona, one of the most powerful spatial manipulators of her age, Bard, the bookworm with no powers or any common sense, and Azure, the one with the power to unseal their home once and for all, want to save the elemental giant that sleeps beneath it, they’ll have to leave and discover that their city wasn’t so perfect after all.
Linear (Novel), in progress & continuing
Lines, invisible blue pieces of string connect all things in and beyond the universe. However, only certain people can see them, manipulate them. Max, a normal – albeit troubled – 18 year old is one of them. Not that he ever wanted to be.
