Hi everyone,

I'm working on a script about Port Royal.  Port Royal is a city located at the end of the Palisadoes at the mouth of the Kingston Harbour, in southeastern Jamaica. Founded in 1518, it was the centre of shipping commerce in the Caribbean Sea during the latter half of the 17th century. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692 and subsequent fires, hurricanes, flooding, tidal waves, fires and another earthquake in 1907.  See picture of place below.



The script revolves around an archaeologist who goes there to finish his thesis and gets into a lot of trouble.

I have really strong characters but I need someone to help me with some credible villains.

If you are interested please contact me.

I went ahead and googled Port Royal and read it's history. Very intriguing to say the least.

I don't think you will run out of ideas, you have an extremely large canvas to work with. I would suggest that your characters reflect the loose morals and wealth of the old, wow I hope this is a slam dunk for you.

Just thought I'd comment, I have been tying in somthing similar into a series I have been working on. It features the Antikythera wreck in Greece, a captain named Kondos excavated many treasures from the sea bottom, including the first ancient computer. Really cool stuff. I threw in a curve ball and had them discover a pair of relics that were kept secret.

Good luck, let me know when it ready for a read!

Thanks for the kind words Johny.  I have written a few pages.  It is much different than how I originally intended to be.  I'd love to hear everyone's thoughs:
