I have 3 feature scripts, and 6 shorts currently available. If anybody's interested, drop me a line at the email below and we'll talk. (willing to work for credit for the shorts)
_________________________________________________
The Copycat Murders
A cop hunts a killer who can strike from any reflective surface.
Jack Ryan is forced to track the killer on his own territory. That means taking a journey into the place on the other side, into the mirror-land, where it is always twilight, and always deadly.
90 pages, a supernatural noir-thriller in the vein of “Fallen” or “Angel Heart”
____________________________________________________
The Amulet
Derek Adams is a PI with plenty of time on his hands. Until the Bogart Case walks in. A priceless family heirloom has been stolen and everyone in town is looking for it. It was supposed to be an easy case, fast money. But pretty soon Derek is up to his armpits in bodies, femme fatales and tentacles. The city's dark side has him.
And it doesn't want to let go!
"The Amulet", is 96 page B-movie noir-meets-monster tale revolving around a Bogart buff and the MacGuffin of an ancient amulet of power that has ganglords in a frenzy trying to locate it to bring back the elder gods. The script is based on my novel "The Midnight Eye Files: The Amulet", which was published in September 2005 by Black Death Books in the USA.

Sirens
At first it's a simple lost son case, but for PI Derek Adams things turn quickly to the twilight zone.
Soon he's on a remote island and up to his hips in mer-women, shape changers and ancient fisher cults.
Running back to the city doesn't help; there's mayhem on the streets.
An ancient god is waking up, and only blood will stop him.
"Sirens" is 97 pages, a B-movie monster tale revolving around a Bogart buff and the MacGuffin of the curse of a race of mer-women. The script is based on my novel "The Midnight Eye Files: Sirens", which will be published in 2007 by Black Death Books in the USA.

I am a Scottish author. I have five novels published in the States and three more coming in 2006/7, all in the independent horror press.
As well as the novels, I have over 130 short story credits, my most recent sale being to the pro anthology "Nova Scotia", a collection of Scottish SF and Fantasy stories from Mercat Books. My work has appeared in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Greece, Saudi Arabia and India, and my first screenplay sale, a ten minute ghost story, is currently in production with Capital Media Arts in New York. All of my other short stories and novels are available for option.
