Alice and the Pale Horse is a story that I started writing almost 4 years ago during a really, really bad day at work. Since then, it has existed in multiple forms- short scripts, novellas and even poetry- before find its current form as an episodic screenplay. It’s been quite a journey.

My writing partner and I have been working on this version of Alice for over a year. It incorporates a number of ideas that started in the original draft I wrote in an e-mail to myself from my sales desk 4 years ago.

There’s a girl named Alice.

A pale horse that once belonged to Death.

A troubled fantasy world of magic and warring powers.

And a strange and dangerous beast that threatens to swallow it whole.

Our plan is to release Alice in bits and pieces as we go. We’re shooting for weekly episodes, but will play the timing by ear as we get the hang of posting/editing/sharing with our audience.

I don’t have production ambitions for this screenplay. I don’t see it becoming the next big Netflix hit or HBO series. I wrote it as a screenplay because that’s the format I’m most familiar with. It’s also my hope that this format will allow for you to read it quicker than you might a piece of prose- and if you like it enough, maybe you’ll read it with your friends, like I used to back when I studied theatre. :)

I don’t know how Alice will end, only that she (and all the characters, for that matter) will change, just as surely as we all do. Thank you for joining me on this exhilarating and unpredictable journey into the world of Arcana ^_^
