I'm a freelance writer, entertainment historian and playwright. I've traveled extensively in Europe and the U.S. but researching and writing books like "Spike Jones Off the Record," "Acting Solo," "Reel Characters" and "The Beckett Actor" has been the great adventure of my life. Without readers I wouldn't be here, so I thank all of you who have discovered my books and shared my adventures.Please check out my new series of ebooks, including "John Ford's The Quiet Man: The Making of a Cult Classic," "Dali, Disney and Destiny," "Academy Award Losers 1912-1939," "Laurel & Hardy Meet Samuel Beckett," and "Stand-up and Solo Performance." I hope you will enjoy them.
