Hello friends!
Welcome to my new venture, which I am launching here on Substack.
Some of you know I dabble in screenwriting and storytelling in my other life, when I’m not living the dream as a tradmom of five.
What are my qualifications? Officially, none, other than I’ve been doing this a while and enjoy it. A partner and I wrote a TV sitcom pilot and published it on Amazon. It sold 500 copies as a paperback!
And I just posted the full PDF of a screenplay I was hired to write a couple years ago. It’s a buddy movie and a period caper set in 1979. It was so fun to write!
(Paid subs can download it at the bottom of this post).
I also occasionally tweet pitches and ideas for stories on Twitter/X. But I don’t really know how official Hollywood works, and it’s a club frankly I have no interest in joining. I have no agent, etc.
But so many people On the Right are constantly complaining that there’s no content for us to consume—no books, no movies, nothing for our side, nothing that appeals to the forgotten American audience. You know, the far-right MAGA extremists who don’t really want trans sex scenes in their kid’s shows or politically motivated race-swapped casting decisions that kill otherwise beloved stories.
I am launching Lost Riviera Studios so I have a safe space to develop my ideas, write scripts, and share them with readers. Eventually, I’d love to open it up to outside writers and let people submit their own specs.
I am going to paywall most posts related to this venture, to keep out the haters and the losers. They are circling as we speak!
We’ll get there. We have to.

I have been writing good, PG scripts for years. Never got one produced even though I am a longtime friend of Kevin Costner. Had some nibbles but nothing. Still have them when/if you accept.
This is exactly what we need! Praying for you!
