Novels
Published between 1978 and 1996
A crime novel with Detective James Della taking on Chicago’s “gangster killer,” a troubled, guilt-ridden man executing members of the city’s mafia outfit. I adapted this novel as a movie for Showtime in 1991 starring Lou Gosset Jr., Anthony LaPaglia, and Peter Coyote. Coyote was nominated for a Cable ACE Award (more on this novel in my book “WRITE”.
“Cheevey” is a coming-of-age tale about a young man turning 20 in the 1990s and trying to hold together his coming-apart family (sampled and discussed in my book “WRITE”). “Cheevey” was a top pick by the New England Booksellers Association and a starred review in “Publisher’s Weekly.”
My first book, also a Detective James Della crime novel, follows Della as he attempts to intersect a killer with a list of names and vengeance in mind.
A magical realism drama of disparate characters at a mountain lodge.
