SCREENPLAYS


THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN



In the conclusion of Mark Twain's classic novel, Huck says he wants no truck with being "civilized." And if things don't go well he just might "light out for Injun Territory." In this screenplay, Allan and his partner - the late Chris Bunch - pick up from there and Huck flees West, trying to escape "Civilization." Along the way he meets a colorful cast of characters: a teenage delinquent by the name Of Jesse James, Harriet Tubman on a raid to free her enslaved family, a foul-mouthed Kit Carson... and many more.  Available both as a handsome 8x11 paperback, and on Kindle. Note to Kindle Advantage members: you can read the screenplay free. 






THE LAST GREEN RIVER

THE MOUNTAIN MAN AND THE BOY
It's 1837 and a young man finds himself stranded high in the Rocky Mountains and thousands of miles of wilderness from home. After burying his father, a preacher bound for Oregon to bring religion to the "heathen Indians," Isaac Burns picks up his father's Hawken rifle and sets off on a journey that cannot end in anything but tragedy. And then, out of the darkness, strides a shaggy angel clad in buckskins and furs. His name is Noah Smythe, a mountain man who is struggling with his own personal battle to hold on to a world that will soon slip from his grasp. Reluctantly, he takes Isaac under his wing and they set off a incredible journey that will test both spirit and flesh and will reach its shattering climax in a wilderness rendezvous that will go down in legend as The Last Green River.

AROCHUKU
It's 1799 and the African slave trade is at its height. Chima - a young Ibo blacksmith - is carried away with his whole village by brutal slaveraiders. Chima and his best friend, Ofo - an Ibo holyman - are sold to Virginia planters. There they struggle to maintain their African identity, but in the end Chima's friend is killed by a white overseer. To Chima the murder has also doomed his friend's ghost to wander this inhospitable land forever. He kills the overseer and escapes, barely eluding packs of dogs and white slave hunters. Then, with every white hand set against him, he travels west - seeking freedom in the lands where the sun goes to rest. And where Arochuku - the sun god - reigns over all.
