Cleopatra Video
LATE ON a moonless night.
Bedsprings are squeaking in a constant rhythm, and gasps and groans are coming from a narrow window high up on the wall of a stand-alone garage.
The squeaking accelerates.
February 23, 1974
TOO DARK to recognize the young man and young woman going at it in the loft above the garage. The sex soon culminates with outcries of delight, followed by heavy breathing while they recover.
Moments pass.
“I need more nectar,” the young woman says.
The request puz...

What Is 21 Years?
21 Years is an episodic crime saga following in the footsteps of Sons of Anarchy, The Blacklist, Narcos, House of Cards, and Breaking Bad. Each episode becomes available as soon as written.
It’s cutting-edge and hard-hitting. Plenty of action and adventure. Interesting characters on both sides of the law. Plenty of twists and turns in the plot. Violence and bad language.
Cross my heart, you will see things in “21 Years” that you never saw before.
The first episode is “...

Fact to Fiction
Born to Be Wild is fact and 21 Years is fiction. I wrote both. Now let’s take a look at the opening paragraphs of each one. Let’s look at Born to Be Wild first …

¿Dónde Está Beth?
TARDE EN UNA NOCHE EN LUNA.
Oímos jadeos y gemidos, y el rítmico chirrido de los muelles. Los sonidos vienen de una estrecha ventana en lo alto de la pared de un garaje independiente.
El chirrido se acelera.

LOFT SOBRE EL GARAJE.
Demasiado oscuro para reconocer al joven ya la joven que lo van a hacer. Con el tiempo, el sexo culmina con gritos de alegría. Seguido por la respiración pesada mientras se recuperan.
Los momentos pasan.
“Necesito más néctar,” dic...
Meet Lew Kaminski
We meet two new characters in Chapter 2 of the Pilot Episode of 21 Years. And we meet them as they return home in a yellow cab from a week’s cruise to the Caribbean:
The back door of the cab swings open and Lew Kaminski steps out. Forty-five. Dressed casually, and exuding confidence with every movement.
He leans down and helps his wife exit the cab. Izabel, also forty-five. Slim and attractive with blonde hair. Wearing a long navy overcoat and heels, and carrying a matching hand...

ng Coalescence
No matter how good or how intricate your plot, you’ll lose viewers if they don’t like your characters and/or don’t find them interesting. That said, let’s take a look at the characters as they appear in the Pilot Episode of 21 Years — “Where’s Beth?”
We meet two characters in the first chapter (Cleopatra), but we have no idea who they are or what they look like. We meet a YOUNG MAN and a YOUNG WOMAN.
Too dark to recognize the young man and young woman going at it.
