Lloyd Jack Wilson's
drama began August 11, 1938 in Lorain, Ohio. The big event occurred
in the shadow of a historic Lake Erie Lighthouse during a nor'easter
storm -- hence, "The Lighthouse Keeper Trilogy" would also
be born. As Captain of Patrol Boys at Fairhome Elementary, Lloyd never
lost a fellow student on his watch. In the early-fifties, he attended
Longfellow Junior High where he excelled at creative writing, and
on the stage, more often than he did on a baseball diamond.
After graduating from Lorain High School, where he majored in
the art of cool, Lloyd spent seven years in the Ohio National Guard
as a weapons expert. Amidst the hot, Dog Days of Summer, he created
signs and graphics for a local sign company. Several years after he
married his muse, Janet Bohach in the winter of '62, they had sons
Chris and Mark. From '73 to '78 Lloyd was the Art Director for The
Lorain Journal -- a daily newspaper in the Great Lakes Region. During
those years, and into the 80s, he coached championship Little League,
American Legion Baseball, and CYO Basketball teams.
Over the next decade, Lloyd created murals and signage at Cedar Point
in Ohio, America's top Amusement Park. There, he focused on writing
how-to articles for the international magazine, Sign Craft, in order
to hone his literary skills. Once the Wilson's sent their sons to
college, Lloyd wrote about his family's early connection to the lighthouse.
That included other charismatic folks, who lived, loved and endured
the rugged life style on the shores of Lake Erie. A novella about
his grandfather, a fishing Captain lost on the lake during a fierce
nor'easter, is now a thousand pages of "Keeper Trilogy."
A Universal Studios script doctor believes the trilogy is rich enough
to be adapted into a Hallmark TV series.
During the nineties, when Lloyd wielded a brush for Disney Studios,
and instructed their future artists, he penned, produced and directed
the comedy/mystery, "Fear on the Cusp." "A paranoid
Astrologer, foreseeing her own demise," enjoyed a two year run
in, Florida.
Then Lloyd wrote the YA adventure novel, "Maximum Graffiti,"
which he adapted into a screenplay that's ready for 3-D Animation.
"Max, an orphan with a beat up guitar, saves WOW aka, the Wizard
of Wishes, from an evil Ghetto Rock Star."
As a member of a New York Times bestselling author's writing/acting
group in Orlando, FL, Lloyd realized his niche - the screenplay. From
2002 - 2010, amidst his tenure as moderator for a writers group at
the historic city of Tarpon Springs library on the west coast of Florida,
he offered decades of writing experience to aspiring writers. With
the urging of a New York agent, Lloyd has completed the original screenplay,
"Social Insecurity." Knowing the timely drama with music
is in the agent's hands, Lloyd reveals that it's, "Glee, Fame,
and Footloose on Viagra."
Lloyd told me, "Unless Jan and I move to LA, my writing spirit
is on Florida's West Coast. As long as it takes to write the latest
drama "Down and Deadly," my heart will remain on the shores
of Lake Erie. But, I pray the next nor'easter doesn't take another
kid's grandfather." |

| Barbara Cronin Harrington
a former assistant casting director in the movies (COCOON,
Absence of Malice, Stick), has turned her talents to screenwriting,
line editing, writing novels, screenplays and plays and a writer for
hire. Her docu-novel, "GIVE HIM BACK TO GOD" is an
inspired version of the murder of a married Roman Catholic priest
by his wife in New Port Richey in 1982. While working on the movie
COCOON, she told her cousin, Beverly McDermott, an international casting
director, that she had first hand knowledge of the murder, since she
was friends with both the victim and the murderess. "You have
to write that story," Beverly said. "That's a movie waiting
to be made." The book, compared to somewhere between The
Thornbirds and Fatal Attraction, has been optioned twice for a
MOW by Republic Films and I LOVE MOVIES.
