Humankind by our own standards;we are intelligent resourceful and adaptable but are we really? I was just reading an article on MSN about global warming and frankly it is scary to think we could become extinct through our own endeavors. We like to think that evolution has given us the intelligence and tools to thrive in this world but in reality we are as fragile as the natural world around us. We like to think like the fictional series of Star trek that mankind can come together as one learning together to better the race as a whole... but in reality we are far from such a bonding. The scientist say we have until 2030 to begin to turn things around after that it will be more difficult or worse too late. Species of this planet already on the verge of extinction will be gone and other species will follow. By 2100 most if not all species of insect will be extinct which will definitely lead to our own extinction, Why? Insects are the key element and vital to plants around the wor...

I'm sat here at the computer staring at the screen.... I know what I want to write but it all gets tangled in the fog of writers block; normally I don't suffer this phenomenon because I have such an active imagination or at least I thought I had. I'm writing a novel at the same time I'm putting a script together ! I find writing the novel relaxing and enjoyable as I progress from one chapter to the next as the story comes together in a seemingly  never ending flow. I then break off the novel and continue with the script writing to give my brain a rest as the story is already written in the script. Tedious comes to mind (Laughs) Script writing is difficult as everything is visual and what is unseen you have to work a way around it?   Advice and insight given to me by a script writer friend on Linkedin and the advice taken with gratitude. It's not until you try your hand at script writing that you soon realize that unlike a novel that goes by chapter and feel...

Alaska Incident; perhaps I should explain the story line: 10 men of the Yorkshire regiment are sent as an exchange to Fort Brookes an American missile defense base isolated from civilization in the middle of Brooke’s forest Alaska. They soon become aware they are fighting for their lives with the survivors of the US Army defending Hill 352 a small elevated hill in front of a mountain pass through which the Soviets have to pass in order to break out and return to Russia. Whilst President Reagan and vice President Bush with the Prime Ministers of Canada and the UK thrash out the politics WITH President Gorbechev Peter and his men have a hard choice to make, stand and fight to prevent their escape or risk a world pandemic.  A virus and anti-virus, 160 Soviet Spetznas (Special Forces) and the worst snow storm in decades thrown into the mix will bring the conclusion of this gritty story to a dramatic climax.
