My Screenplay, STOLEN CRIMES, has made the second cut in WriteMovies's current competiton.
The logline: A woman’s scheme to steal a celebrity’s identity backfires when she's arrested for her victim’s past crimes. It's a great "twin" role for an actress around 50 years old.

GOD AT THE PODIUM: A Modern Greek Tragedy
When the declared winner of a national election learns his win is the result of a computer hack that backfired on his unsavory opponent, he must decide whether to concede or not, putting at risk his country, his marriage, and ultimately his soul.

Married 12 years today. Been together almost 43. Our marriage was made possible by a Supreme Court decision tossing out the Defense of Marriage Act (which had made marriage legal between heterosexuals). Not at all confident today's Supreme Court would decide the same way.
