Title: East Meets Western
Genre: Western
Pages: 118
Logline: A runaway indentured Asian cook bakes his way into the good graces of a frontier town, where he struggles to win the allies he needs to avoid recapture by the ruthless outlaw who 'owns' him.
Synopsis: Raised in China by a missionary who taught him English, a Korean orphan immigrates to the American Wild West encouraged by tales of plentiful work and wages for all.
Forced into indentured servitude to pay for his passage, he becomes the cook for a well-organized outlaw gang and their cold-blooded leader. It seems he traded a bad situation for a worse one, but he has no options in the lawless land.
But after the bandits capture a female prospector, his luck changes. "Cookie" as he is known, is able to escape his enslavement with the prospector's help, and the two go on the run.
They seek sanctuary in a frontier town, knowing that they can't keep running from the bandits indefinitely. The townspeople aren't sure they want to help an Asian with a price on his head, or a female who defies the conventions of the day.
Cookie wins over the townsfolk with his quiet determination and extraordinary ability to cook the most amazing food anyone can remember tasting. By the time the bandits learn his whereabouts, Cookie no longer needs to hide – he has a whole town willing to both stand by him and stand up for the side of the law.
Title: The Man with the Package

His mission is clear; find and acquire a rare antique chest and it's contents and simply mail it safely back to his boss. During this in-field test, his actions are being observed and reported back to his boss.
What should have been an easy mission turns into the weekend from hell. Far away from the ease and urban lifestyle of the US, he finds himself in a town that seems to bar his progress at every turn. The townsfolk, police, and it seems fate itself conspire to turn his neatly ordered assignment into bumbling shambles.
How hard could it be to simply post a parcel? Let's just say the man with the package won't be going home anytime soon...
Title: Shades of Sin
Genre: Period, Action/Romance
Pages: 105
Logline: Logline: A woman is caught between two men and their long-standing feud with each other.
Synopsis: Set in the Renaissance era, a young woman becomes unwittingly embroiled in a feud between a lord and a criminal fugitive.
She is bound to one by an arranged marriage and duty, but loses her heart to the other - a cold renegade who is bent on revenge against the man he feels is responsible for the death of his family when he was a boy.
She is conflicted by loyalty to one, and desire for the other - but must make a choice between the right man and the wrong one, at the risk of losing the life of privilege and status she has known.
There are no clear answers for her; nothing about the situation that is black and white, or as it seems. Somewhere between what society tells her to do, and what her heart wants her to feel, lie shades of sin.
