Story Time

Story Time is a revised version of a previous book titled The Story Book. In this volume only the top seven screenplays of my 27 script collection are included here. These are the stories that made the rounds in national and international screenplay competitions, as far as the finals. Both Saber-Toothed Cat and Storm Shadows made the finals in two popular script contests. The five others included here made it as far as the semi-finals.
