Kiss Me Kill Me

"We write to taste life twice,
‌in the moment and retrospect."

Anais Nin

SARA

SARA is a memoir about a fragile woman who leaves her troubled marriage in Houston and moves to New York City to find happiness. There she discovers the inter-workings of her mind through a relationship with an ill-fated poet, a psychoanalyst and an Australian Surgeon. In the book the depths of love, loss and letting go is covered in her personal journey of self-reliance and renewal. It’s a journey that takes place in New York, Houston, and Sydney, Australia. The story is riveting and powerful and her quest both unique and universal.


kiss me kill me

Kiss Me Kill Me is a play about the dysfunction in relationships in the family, homosexuality and massive gun control. It is set in Houston, Texas in a surplus and sporting goods store in the present day. It’s a riveting story of three characters in search of meaning in  their lives in today’s society.
It’s a play that is universal and speaks to the soul of the ever present problem of gun control and violence in America and within the nuclear family. It’s a play in one act and is relentless in its action. Not to be missed.
