Doug is a former journalist who once served as a press secretary in the US Senate. He has worked in communications in public and private sectors and created a successful career as a freelance writer which has spanned more than 25 years.
As a scriptwriter, his work has received numerous accolades. Particularly his work, Back Star Rising, based on the life of Texas congresswoman, Barbara Jordan, was awarded honors in more than 45 competitions worldwide including 12 Best Screenplay awards. Back Star Rising is currently in development for a feature film.
Failure Point is not Doug's first book, having previously published Nowhere Man and A Sacred Duty, a book he co-wrote with Paula Pedene. The story is based on Paula's true account of her experience as the federal whistleblower who exposed a scandal at the Veterans Administration hospital in Phoenix, Arizona that took the lives of hundreds of U.S. veterans – also in development for a film. Nowhere Man, was hailed by critics and compared to House of Cards.
