T.L. Davis began his writing career with publication of a short story “A Social Witness” in a small, literary press where it won the editor’s award for excellence. Later that year he had his stage play “Chosen Realities” produced by a small, local production company to good reviews.
From there, he wrote for several regional and national magazine publications. Several years later he published “Shadow Soldier” a novel of the West, followed quickly by the sequel “Home To Texas”. These works led to ghostwriting assignments for Corinthian Press.
Davis continued to write, only he shifted his focus from novels to screenplays, writing first “Knight of Iron” and later co-authored “Ezekiel’s Wheels” with John Rosenburg. The screenplays did not find a home and were never optioned. It was after this period that Davis became more interested in political inconsistencies of American history and wrote “Banana Republic” a fictionalized version of the 1954 overthrow of the Jacobo Arbenz Administration in Guatemala by the CIA.
After years of work on Banana Republic and while writing other novels and short stories “Short Rope At Dawn” the fictionalized story of Joeseph “Black Jack” Slade published in the short story anthology “Black Hats”. and “Deputized” another novel of the West. Davis then wrote an oil field novel “Dakota Burning” (as yet unpublished). “Banana Republic” has recently been recognized as a semi-finalist in the on-going Emerging Screenwriter’s screenplay contest.
In 2016 Davis embarked on a venture to produce a film about the lack of media integrity and wrote and executive produced the documentary “Lies of Omission”. This film was released in July of 2017 and is available on most streamers including Tubi and Amazon Prime.
Having discovered declassified CIA documents detailing the coup in Guatemala, Davis totally rewrote Banana Republic to the point it required a name change and it became “Operation Success.”
