Sex, Lies, and the Classroom
Thriller/Family Drama
Nathaniel O'Connell thought he knew what it takes to survive at Southwest High School, a low-income, ethnically diverse, inner-city school. After seven years of teaching, he thought he had discovered how to get through to these children of poverty. That was before he met Tyreshia, Krysteal, and Ebony, who know how to inflict pain, both physical and emotional. After a confrontation on the first day of school, O'Connell finds himself fighting for his reputation, his job, his family, and his very survival. With his wife, Alexandria, O'Connell must battle the school system, the justice system, and his own weakness, as he seeks redemption. Faced with investigations by the school's administration, the Department of Family Services, and the District Attorney's Office, he must find the strength and the courage to reach out to these same students to save his very soul.

The M-16 Agenda
Political Thriller/Family Drama
A man is not apt to forget the instant he becomes a killer; that one fateful instant when he takes another's life. It would not matter that Jack Granger has killed, all soldiers train to kill, except that he is the Democratic nominee in the presidential election of 2020. Having secured the nomination as Governor of Missouri and on the strength of his M-16 Agenda, his political platform developed in the killing sands of Iraq, Jack is days away from the White House when the situation in Iraq and in Washington D.C. changes everything. Now it is a race against time, and his own past, as he makes a last ditch effort to save his bid for the presidency, and possibly the world. From the war torn battlegrounds of Iraq to the halls of power in Washington D.C., M-16 Agenda follows one man's rise to the heights of political power, as he struggles to live up to the promises he made to his fellow soldiers, his family, and himself.
