About this submission

When an aeronautical engineer with an anxiety disorder finds himself on a rare date, Homeland security interrupts to inform him his wife has been killed and has mixed him up in international espionage involving a stolen prototype. The only issue... he's not married.

He inherits the dead woman's overnight bag full of ordinary looking items but the spies believe she has given him the prototype. In order to stay alive, he must uncover the real prototype and demonstrate how it works, all while keeping it from falling into the wrong hands.

As a neurodivergent kid, I found my refuge in stories. They were my guide to navigating a world that often felt alien—hostile. That’s why I became a storyteller—to build shelters with words so others wouldn’t be lost. Not surprisingly, my talents didn’t follow traditional paths. People found my voice on a new platform—YouTube. Since 2009 I’ve built massive online communities with 200M views and 2500 years of watchtime. There, I honed the visceral rhythm of hooking an audience, and proved that if you want to talk about big, challenging ideas, the best vehicle is a compelling story people can't put down. Now, I use that skill as a screenwriter and novelist. Wielding action-adventure stories about complex disabled heroes with gentle masculinity and queer identities, I use the excitement of genre to explore universal themes of resilience and finding your community. My work, recognized with Shorty Impact Awards, Anthem Awards, and partnerships like Kevin Bacon's Six Degrees, isn't about building escapist worlds. It's about using fiction to tell the truth. more...
