Masquerades

Book I
87,000 words

Sondja absolutely hates her older sister Léysha, no doubt about it. Because it’s impossible not to hate a girl who thinks she’s the most beautiful woman in the Queendom (even though that may be true), and who believes she’s destined to become a Princess at her Royal Auditions (ok, that’s also pretty inevitable).

But when Sondja learns that her sister has been the victim of extortion from a mysterious masked Prince, her hatred evaporates. And it’s Sondja’s love for Léysha that sends her on a mission to kill the man behind the mask.

The only problem is, once the Prince’s identity is revealed, is it love that Sondja feels for her sister, and hatred for this evil man, or does she have it all completely wrong?

Compared to other village girls, I was ordinary. Compared to my sister, I was invisible. Wherever we went, the villagers’ gazes magnetized toward Léysha. Their whispers followed us, echoing in every market stall and alleyway, “That girl will be a Princess one day.”

There was no shadow in Ylib darker than the one my sister cast in all her radiance.

The Eye of Envy

Book II

When a little lie gets out of control, and the pangs of jealousy are left to fester, a devoted woman will do anything for the man she loves, even the unthinkable.

Then yes, my answer is yes.” Léysha slipped the purple pearl ring onto her engagement finger. “I will marry you.” She displayed her hand up for him to see.

“But only after my sister is dead.”

Léysha’s bony finger pointed to me, and I stepped backwards, wishing to melt into the shadows.

A Spell Unbroken

Book III

They say that magic is not a game to toy with, and they're right. Because as all true Magicians know, it is the worst of all curses to get what you wished for.

“I leaned onto his creaking desk, knowing that this answer would be the only way for me to undue the wrongs I had done. “Tell me,” I repeated, and scarcely breathed. “What is the one way to break a spell?” I asked.

The Magician finally whispered into the darkness, “Death."

Kings of Gold

TV Series - Historic Drama
Pilot Episode - 53 Pages
Seeking Representation

In 15th century Zimbabwe, a lowly African farmer rises to power, fighting off foreign armies, lions, and his own vindictive brother as he creates what will become Africa’s richest empire - the Mutapa Kingdom.

It’s VIKINGS meets SHAKA ZULU.

This is the African hero the world needs right now.

And no, it’s not Black Panther. That’s fantasy. This is real.

His name was Nyatsimba Mutota, and there’s a reason why you’ve never heard of him. His rule over the Mutapa Kingdom in Southern Africa has been erased from history and suppressed. On purpose.

Though it was impossible for the white-run Rhodesian government to hide the impressive stone ruins of Great Zimbabwe, they didn’t need to. They would simply shun and deport any archeologist who claimed the structures were African-made. This happened even into the 1970’s. Instead, they proposed outlandish theories that this advanced civilization which commanded legions in the thousands, and presided over a trade network reaching China, was founded by Ancient Egyptians, Biblical figures, or even aliens. But not black Africans.

Times have changed, but we still don’t see African history as we should. Even today, the only stories you hear coming out of Africa are ones of oppression, poverty, genocide, or slavery.

This is not one of the those stories. This is a story of African GLORY.

This is a story about a man who the world can be proud of. And hopefully one day, we will all know his name.

Origami Instructions:

Take the romantic Japanese flavors of LOST IN TRANSLATION, fold it in with the culturally awkward humor of EMILY IN PARIS, and turn it inside out with the heart-warming surprises of CRAZY RICH ASIANS.

Now marvel at how adorable it has turned out, and squeal with joy.

Miss Bell

TV Series - Adventure
Pilot Length - 59 Pages
Seeking Representation

When a British archeologist in 1910 becomes a victim of a Siamese curse, she travels to Arabia, and in the quest to cure herself, gets wrapped up in occultist mysteries surrounding ancient relics.

Combine the adventure of Indiana Jones, the mysteries of The Da Vinci Code, and the setting of Lawrence of Arabia, and you have yourself MISS BELL. Set in 1910 during the initial stirrings of World War I, Miss Apsara Bell is an independently-minded archeologist who’s way ahead of her time, but struggles in a world that seems inherently rigged against women.

Along with a trio of misfit friends - a British aristocrat and fellow archeologist with an identity crisis (T.E. Lawrence), a half-gypsy fortune-teller with a keen intuition (Ethelinda), and a tough-as-nails sharp shooter Bedouin woman (Seham), they have to stop the ambitious Germans before Emperor Wilhelm II discovers a long-lost secret that could bring Germany supreme power, and the rest of the world to its knees.

Pendulum

Feature - Drama/Horror
Length - 102 Pages

When a Gujarati-American girl visits her boyfriend’s relatives’ rural South African farm, she finds that racial tensions on the “plantation” are at a boiling point, and that the farmhouse’s prison-like defenses are no match for the cunning laborers who are out for vengeance against their oppressive overlords.

It's a cross between THE PURGE and GET OUT, but based on real events.

It brings to light the Boer killings of South Africa’s wealthy white farmers, but the lessons here are anything but black and white. Even though both sides may have blood on their hands, no one may get out unscathed, and the killings are a testament to how bad things can get when racial injustice engulfs a society.
