The following 7 paperbacks contain my feature movie scripts. “Scaredy-Kate and the Monsters -or- How to Pay the Rent” contains a marionette opera, featuring the music of Joseph Haydn, and a mostly black cast. Three of the scripts have same-sex relationships that are integral to the plot; “Gilgamesh & Enkidu,” “Blood Relatives,” and “Space Opera.” The latter has a mixed race cast, and “Blood Relatives” has many Latino cast members, and a Native American healer cast member.
Besides the script itself, each book has the movie’s Logline, Plot Synopsis, Cast List and the number of scenes they play, graphical representation of the Character Relationships, and Production Notes. There is also the Genesis of each story; describing the inspiration, and why I worked on that particular story.

The following paperback is a satire, and condemnation, of a fascist, who worships his own reflection in a gilded mirror, as well as the bully Vladimir Putin. The book has three parts: first a story of misdeeds (in rhyme), then a shorter story (also in rhyme) in 3-D anaglyph (red-cyan glasses sent upon request), and finally an excellent resource list of organizations which fight for civil rights democratic ideals.
