I have written in various genres since my teen age years, notably in scientific journals and business publications, as well as plays, opera librettos and short stories. In the past, I have sent ideas to various television shows in the form of synopses and treatments, and scripts, and had several considered. I hold a BA in English as well as a BA in music and a Masters in Botany.
I have completed six scripts and have sent four out to various contests. Four of them are full length films, while the two others are shorts. One of the full length scripts is a Supernatural/Thriller, the second is a Sci-Fi Romantic Comedy, the third is a Fantasy/Drama Teleplay and the fourth is a Dramatic Comedy. One of the shorts is a Fantasy/Drama while the other is a Sword and Sorcery/Fantasy. As you can see, I am not 'married' to one particular genre, but enjoy writing in all genre types.
