What else have you written?
In April 2006 I completed a screenplay for the widely read classic book Stranger at the Pentagon, first written in 1967 by Dr. Frank E. Stranges, the Grandfather of UFOology.
With overtones of The Day the Earth Stood Still, Stranger at the Pentagon script is inspired by a true story. In 1957, Valiant Thor, a Created Being lands on Earth with promise of a new future and becomes the guest of the US Government for 3 years under the Eisenhower Administration. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have their own hidden agenda for the extraterrestrial. They want his technologies and will stop at nothing to get them.
The screenplay is filled with far-futuristic never-before-seen visuals of Valiant Thor’s incredible powers, his Victor One Class Spaceships (each housing 200 people), and of his colossal 14 mile long and 7 mile wide Starship. The technologies on these vessels alone with satiate Science Fiction fans, not just because it’s new, but because we’re bringing truth to the reality that our Cosmic Neighbors exist.
There are actual photographs taken by August Roberts, a retired Air Force photographer of Commander Valiant Thor, and Donn, his Vice Commander. There are life-like artist renderings of the Victor One Class Spaceships, including detailed blueprints, as well as the Starship. *See all pictures below.
After the film version, Dr. Frank E. Stranges and I plan on creating a weekly television series. (The world needs a new Star Trek; this version will pull actual experiences of Valiant Thor and his crew since their return to our planet in 1961.) To this day, Valiant has stationed 287 Victor One Class Spaceships in locations all over the Earth, as well as the Starship in our outer atmosphere. The stories of how he and his people have helped our civilization are endless. Dovetailing Science Fact (not Fiction) and Spiritual Truth from a Created Being’s point-of-view will give hope to our world in turmoil. That tagline alone will pull in a huge viewer-ship for the film and series.
What are the selling points of this screenplay?
In the new and prosperous trend of Spiritual Cinema, the film will no doubt create controversy like its predecessors The DaVinci Code and The Passion of the Christ. And you know what that means: BOX OFFICE!!!

What are you writing now?
I’m finishing the screenplay to Autobiography of an ExtraTerrestrial: The StarSeed Journals. I’m doing 2 versions: one for a mini-series and another for the big screen. I’ll let the powers that be decide where it should be seen for the masses. This is my lifelong work, so of course, I want to direct it.
