Two original screenplays wrapped around a short novel: Three chilling, thrilling, and undeniably weird tales of Los Angeles.




In AFTERSHOCK, an L. A. psychiatrist/author is displaced by an earthquake and rents a guest house on the grounds of an abandoned Spanish villa deep in Santa Monica Canyon, only to discover that her new abode has a chilling, haunted history that threatens to envelop her.

ONE EYE OPEN follows the journey of Leo, a homeless man living in L. A. whose life is a hazy string of wandering from encampments to food lines. Then in one pivotal moment while perched on the rail of a freeway overpass, a vision from beyond turns his world upside down and ultimately, his life.

In LOVED ONES, when TV actress Gina Coogan is found murdered on her Sherman Oaks doorstep, two of her most obsessive male fans escape for a golf weekend in the desert-with unexpected, twisted results.
