Hello Jenny - This plausible, or possibly impossible, look at an ever-developing society will consume you with a passion. A global conspiracy with its hub in the very heartlands of Scotland, all in the name of freedom - and our unsuspecting acceptance of ultimate mind control. This isn't just about mental state, this is about the ultimate mental state. The United States of Europe may not be as far off as we think. Combine this with the Big Bad Bunny and we have another addiction, about to engulf society!

The Big Bad Bunny - This really makes one feel part of a compelling and addictive spy-ring. Based on common sense and modern-day science, it smacks you with a twist of fate on the verge of every discovery. Watch out for The Big Bad Bunny somewhere near YOU!

The Captain's Secret - Helen Moir - This novel is a powerful piece set between India and Scotland, full of murder, mystery and suspense. The screenplay, like the novel format, is a powerful drama that would make exciting viewing for a varied audience. The research has had many off shoots and resulted in the publishing of two booklets, one on the history of the Applebank Inn, Millheugh (Lanarkshire, Scotland) and one called The Cradle of Christianity.

Grime and Grace - The title comes from the grace of the folk and the grime of the pits. The piece, a period drama documentary, is set in miners' rows around one family. It tells how they shared their joy and sorrow with a great deal of humour woven through, which they both had and needed. We are currently seeking a production company for this work.
