There are lots of ways into my oubliette, but one of the most common is shitting on migrants - including economic migrants like me - but especially asylum seekers and refugees (see example below).

More of a #FunPageFriday than a #FirstPageFriday. A villain's first look at his potential victims from FAR AS THE CROW FLIES, the script I've been working on lately.

What the hey....
From FAR AS THE CROW FLIES. When four American drifters backpacking in Australia find themselves trapped by a murderous farmer and his wannabe son, they must find the wits, strength – and the will – to survive.
Fair to say Tori and Crow are both a little fucked up. #scriptsky

Reworked DUST ON DIRT, my tale of a young woman who turns the tables on a pair of serial killer Border Patrol officers earlier this year as part of an excellent UCLA rewrite course.
Feels like it comes from a kinder, gentler time now.

Why not! #BackOnMyBullshit ('cos fire... stakes...)
Crow and Tori have a bad first day on the farm in my new thriller (currently FAR AS THE CROW FLIES - but tomorrow who knows. I'm in need of a title).
Just got a Shore recommend so chuffed about that, though there's still work to do.

They are.
They know damn well that asylum seekers in 'hotel' accommodation are often served food that is unfit for human consumption.
I think perhaps they need their own taste of 'luxury.'

First page of a tentatively titled FAR AS THE CROW FLIES (it's had many tentative titles), about two American drifters who must find the wits, strength – and will – to survive their murderous employer after taking a job at the wrong Australian orchard.
Currently pruning.

Recently finished a rewrite on DUST ON DIRT so thought I'd jump into #FirstPageFriday.
When a young woman is kidnapped by two Border Patrol officers for their sick hunting game, she needs all her resilience and strength to survive - but hardest of all is figuring out who to trust.
