Author Bio: **************The REVIEWS are in on LAKE EFFECT**********:

"There’s a lot to like in this script. The action scenes are very well-written and the cat-and-mouse aspects of the plot are very interesting. I found myself reading quickly... you do a nice job of giving us two main characters in Jeff and Cal who are really different and distinctive. So you deserve kudos for all of that... this is a cool story... The action scenes are good, as are the murder scenes. The script is extremely well-written, and you clearly have a gift with words. You write smoothly, with clarity and very solid descriptions."

"...a fun, imaginative and smart screenplay... The story was captivating right from the get go and the intensity never let down all the way through... All the characters were very well done and delineated, each with their own personality... one of the best screenplays I have read."

"...thank you for the great read. That is one smart, slick screenplay. I think it has tremendous commercial potential."

"...a well-paced story, strong writing skills and intense action make Lake Effect a really easy read... I thought the story was well paced, and you developed your characters really well... you have real writing talent. You have good sentence structuring and a varied vocabulary, which makes for an easier read. Your story was exciting... I really enjoyed reading it."

"You write beautifully. The images are captivating..."
