FLAMES TO A MOTH

April 21, 2025

My 2025 screenplay, Flames to a Moth, is on the festival circuit. What a pleasure this one was to put together, based on the book by Vicki Stevens and Gary Horwood. The book is a cracker, the best and the worst of Australia in one, set over several decades.

• 2018 Starfarers and Tharnians
• 2019 Hit & Run
• 2020 The Case of the Notorious Roboticist
