The Writer: Robert Honaker

I am recently retired, after 38 years in the healthcare adminisration industry. My original education was in creative writing, but the corporate world took me in another direction. Now, with time to dedicate to my passion, I have written a screen play. It is not based on my knowledge of healthcare, which I will explore in the future, but rather about crime and murder, as those seem to be more welcomed for development. Go to bio
