FIREFLIES
The dramatic/adventure story of an eleven-year-old girl who joins her father on an exciting adventure.

What seems like just an exciting adventure is actually the story of how a young girl comes to terms with the death of the father she adored.

THE GHOST OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE
 A horror/thriller. Did you know the White House is considered the most haunted house in America? And for good reason. Many prominent people have claimed to have seen ghosts wandering those hallowed halls over the last one hundred and fifty years, including Winston Churchill, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, Elinore Roosevelt, even Maureen Reagan. Of course no one believed them. But what if they were telling the truth? THE GHOST OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE takes place when a new family moves into the White House -- a family wounded by tragedy -- a boy, his sister and their mother -- the first female President in American history. Her husband had been killed in a plane crash during the campaign and now she and her children are trying to put the pieces back together. No one's surprised when the children show signs of stress. Not even when they claim they’re being haunted by ghosts. After all, they've just lost their father, just moved into a new, rather frightening house, and their mother's never around. Everyone, including their own mother, assumes the children are just having a hard time adjusting. So what happens when one of these ghosts tells the children their mother is going to be assassinated?  Will anyone believe them before it's too late?
