RECENT JOURNALISM
In 2011, I wrote THE WAR ON TERROR: Coming Home, a Providence Journal series, my 16th, on veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The documentary from the series, COMING HOME, was broadcast on Rhode Island PBS and won a regional Edward R. Murrow Award and was nominated for a New England Emmy.
The Journal spent all of 2012 examining the ailing Rhode Island economy in the Reninvent Rhode Island series. In February 2013, The Journal published a 12-day commemorative series marking the 10th anniversary of The Station nightclub fire that killed 100; The Journal was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize in Public Service for its coverage of the tragedy.
On April 28, 2013, The Journal began publishing #eWave: The Digital Revolution, a continuing series about the impact of technology on our lives.

STORY IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE
I am visiting fellow and co-director of the Story in the Public Square initiative, in partnership with The Providence Journal, at Salve Regina University's Pell Center in Newport, R.I. This year-round program of studying and celebration of storytelling in American politics and culture formally launched with a day-long conference on April 12, 2013, featuring former U.S. Sen. Gary Hart and two-time Pulitzer winner Dana Priest, of The Washington Post. Like us on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.
DOCUMENTARY
I write and produce documentary movies, including the feature-length ON THE LAKE: Life and Love in a Distant Place, about the tuberculosis epidemic of 1900s America and globally today, broadcast on PBS, and BEHIND THE HEDGEROW: Eileen Slocum and the Meaning of Newport Society, about today's old-money Newport, a world whose roots lie in the Gilded Age of Vanderbilts and Astors, also aired on PBS. The third documentary
I wrote and co-produced is COMING HOME, based on my Fall 2011 Journal series. It premiered online Dec. 29, 2011, and was broadcast on Rhode Island PBS March 26, 2012, and later dates.
ARCHIVES
In my work, I have been privileged to receive access to significant people who are not always -- if ever -- accessible to all. Only a percentage of information they have shared with me makes it into my books and movies, so in the interests of open scholarship, I have donated hundreds of my original and exclusive taped interviews to historical organizations that will preserve them for others. My NASCAR collection is housed at Appalachian State University's Belk Library in Boone, North Carolina. My Newport Society collection is at The Redwood Library & Athenaeum in Newport, Rhode Island. My medical pioneers collection is at The Center for the History of Medicine, at the Harvard Medical School's Countway Library of Medicine in Boston.
MORE STORIES
In my earlier days as a horror and mystery writer, I contributed stories to the fabled NECON convention. Recently published: a collection of the best of NECON, including a story by Stephen King and one by me, Freddy and Rita,
a post-Apocalyptic piece. For more, visit the BIG BOOK OF NECON page. Publisher's Weekly calls it "a killer lineup." And read SUMMER LOVE, the screenplay, a story of passion and obsession. Or download it through iTunes.
