I am a member of the Playwrights Guild of Canada and have a number of full-length and one-act plays completed. the playwrights Guild represent my amateur rights. I won Theatre B.C.'s 2007 national playwriting contest for a one-act called "Perriott and Mr. Grump". I have a full-length screenplay "Typecast" (crime thriller) that has reviewed very well and is getting some attention. I have a full-length animated feature completed. I have written and produced two radio plays in a crime/comedy series, which are available on CD (Milly and Tilly). I have also written, produced and directed three short films, "the adventures of Milly and Tilly" and "Typecast" which can be found on YouTube @ - Bruceamol Milly and Tilly - Typecast is on the sidebar. I have written and produced a promotional video for tourism Vernon; it can be seen on You Tube @ Vernon B.C. - Our playground. My third short film, "the Promise", a paranormal thriller, can be seen on You Tube @ - superpro1369, the promise. "Bloodlines" (Paranormal thriller) is a self- published novel that has been quoted as a "can't put down" read. I also have a number of short stories that are written in both, thriller and romance genre. I am presently writing my second full-length novel called "Life is a Risky Business" which is a little less aggressive (romantic slant), but still following my paranormal genre.
