I continue to write and gain national and international awards for my scripts. ALTA CALIFORNIA tells of the clash between the first Europeans, Spanish soldiers and padres, and the indigenous peoples. Over 70 awards. "His tribe slaughtered by Spanish forces, and his unbaptized mother condemned to Hell by the padres, Paco Palido, a young mixed-blood Californian now seeks a home, a place he belongs in this radically evolving world."
