Over my lifetime, I’ve written a total of nine feature screenplays, “Peer of the Realm”, a biopic based on the life of poet Alfred Tennyson. “A Hit Too Far”, telling the story of the most difficult project of Burt Bacharach’s career – the making of the 1968 hit Broadway musical ‘Promises, Promises’, “City of Brides”, about a young violinist who escapes the Russian Revolution with her family only to one day come to the aid of her Salt Lake City Symphony conductor in 1951 Cold War Utah, “Once an Empress”, reliving the happiest years of Napoleon’s life with Austrian-born French Empress, Marie Louise, “Mount McGregor Memoirs”, which relives a penniless, terminally-ill U.S. Grant and his race against time to complete his memoirs and provide his wife a suitable income after his death. “Stars Over Promontory”, about a young Chinese mother who crosses the Pacific Ocean with her infant son to search for her missing railroad-worker husband in the mountains of Northern California. “Saving Abby”, about a woman struggling to come to terms with the death of her college swim team roommate, who drowned in the freezing waters of Alaska in 1986. “Return to Wessex”, in which a young couple overcomes the strictures of British rural life only to find lasting love, and “First Catherine”, a screenplay about an imprisoned former wife of Peter the Great vying for the Russian Crown against an illiterate, foreign-born peasant girl.
