~ A Little Black Lie (Part 2) by Troy Crossfield `
A Little Black Lie (sequel to A Little White Lie) reveals the dark secrets we hide in our families to protect ourselves and others from being hurt. The lies that we want to take to the grave with us have a way of re-surfacing, even after death. This is a story of father and son who confront each other about an abusive past that tore a family apart, but unpacking their baggage may just be the key to save their relationship.

Vagabond is one man show in development about a young man making critical, but seemingly too late, decisions for his career advancement while wresting with his current and future state.
