The Poster for The Dog House
For those just tuning in, The Dog House, the first story in my book, Secrets and Lies, was recently adapted into a short film in Boston. It will hopefully be hitting the festival circuit in fall.

Pre-Order the Film Adaptation of my Story, “The Dog House”
For those who do not already know, the first story in my book, The Dog House, was optioned to be made into a film by a Boston-based filmmaker of my aqaintance named Kim Rideout.
The film will be her senior thesis for film school at Boston University.

Contribute here. Or else live in regret for the rest of your days. No pressure.
