If you read these books in order, you'd have a roughly chronological literary experience of following my career.
![The Man Who Shot Elvis and other stories](http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=0978635787&tag=screenwriandplay)
The Man Who Shot Elvis and other stories ...
I began writing seriously as a writer of literary short stories, finally breaking into the market and publishing with some consistency. Three stories were selected for the Roll of Honor in the annual Best American Short Stories anthology. At about this time, I abandoned fiction (a failing novel) for playwriting.
![Seven Plays](http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=0978861000&tag=screenwriandplay)
Seven Plays (finalist, Oregon Book Award) ...
The best decade for my playwriting career was in the 1980s when I was playwright-in-residence at the New Rose Theatre and later at the Cubiculo Theatre. I had a solid regional reputation.
![Kerouac's Scroll (n/a)](http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B002KCNC9W&tag=screenwriandplay)
Kerouac's Scroll ...
As I aged, I got tired of collaboration and returned to fiction, not to stories but to novels. This is the book that has received the most praise from my peers.
![Dead Body in a Small Room: A Mystery](http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=0978635744&tag=screenwriandplay)
Dead Body In A Small Room ...
I also tried my hand at mystery fiction. This one was a Mystery of the Year finalist at Foreword Magazine.
![Dark Mission (Library Edition)](http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B004J0XMOS&tag=screenwriandplay)
Dark Mission ...
I wrote the libretto for John Nugent's fine opera.
![Dress Rehearsals: The Education of a Marginal Writer](http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=0974744042&tag=screenwriandplay)
Dress Rehearsals ...
My somewhat complicated career is the focus of my memoir.
All these books (and others) are available at Amazon.

Coming this summer,
