Teleportation tore them apart. His madness and devotion will put the pieces back together.
About Here & There:
It was supposed to be a simple proof of concept. The physics were sound. Over one hundred teleportation experiments had already been successfully performed . . .
Debate rages over whether the Reidier Test’s disastrous outcome resulted from human error, government conspiracy, or sabotage. No one had actual knowledge of the truth. But hidden from the public eye, there exists a government report commissioned from criminal psychologist Dr. Hilary Kahn, chronicling the events that took place.
Dr. Kahn disappeared without a trace.
Now her son Danny has unearthed and revealed the report, fueling controversy over the details of Reidier’s quest to reforge the fabric of reality and hold his family together. Exposed with little chance of finding his mother, Danny goes underground to investigate. But nothing can prepare him for what he discovers.
In this thrilling saga, a paradigm-shattering feat may alter humanity’s future as quantum entanglement and teleportation collide.

The cinematic adaptation of his play The Footage was developed with Pressman Film and is currently being packaged. In 2006, a fruitful collaboration with Joe Frazier and his manager, Leslie Wolff, brought forth the treatment Behind the Smoke, the Joe Frazier biopic with Penny Marshall attached for Parkway Productions.
