I basically was a playwright in New York, a struggling playwright and I got a phone call kind of out of the blue from Edward Dewitt. He�s a director/producer, and he had read one of my plays. He asked me if I was interested in writing for television and film and that�s how I got out to LA and that�s sort of where this all started.

Roswell was originally a young adult novel called Roswell High. Somebody from the studio showed it to me and I thought it just seemed like a sea of possibility, and the kind of story which would just naturally have this life, and there�d be a lot of stories to tell.
