He also created and wrote the screenplays for "Monster Witness Relocation Program" and "Tiki." For Sony Pictures, he's producing the movies "Dodge & Twist" and "Savage Planet" and he's working on a new animated series which created for Nickelodeon.

Zappa's authored over 20 critically acclaimed and best selling books including the novel "The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless," "Because I'm Your Dad," the soon to be released "Because I'm Your Mom," "The Hot Rats Book," and the wildly successful franchise "Star Darlings" for Disney with is amazing wife, Shana.
