Writer of a lot of different stuff
TESTIMONIALS
"[..] Heloise is an incredibly complex character who tries to hide her vulnerabilities but her relationships and interactions with the other characters do a good job of highlighting her vulnerabilities in an effective manner. There is a fantastic chemistry between Polly and Heloise that offers up great comedy throughout Acts II and III. The final acts really ramp up the suspense and tension in an effective way that makes for a quick and enjoyable read. [..}
This is an entertaining thriller with enjoyable comedic elements that would appeal to a large production company and/or studio. The main characters of Heloise and Thane would draw in quality actors in the lead roles which would in turn help with overall marketability of the script. [..]"
