Along with journalism and writing books, I write and produce documentary movies. My next is BEHIND THE HEDGEROW: Eileen Slocum and the Meaning of Newport Society, about today's old-money Newport, the world of Bellevue Avenue and guarded private estates, a world whose roots lie in the Gilded Age of Vanderbilts and Astors. The film premieres on August 10 in Providence as the opening-night feature of the 2010 Academy Award-qualifying
FLICKERS: Rhode Island International Film Festival, and August 14 in Newport, with gala parties following each. For information about online, phone and in-person ticket orders, follow the links found here.
With 36 years in the U.S. Senate and a long list of accomplishments that included the Pell Grants, the late Claiborne Pell had few equals. But he was much more than that -- a quirky and colorful man born into wealth who spent most of his life in public service, a true example of noblesse oblige. A VERY DIFFERENT SENATOR, working title of my eighth book, due in 2010, is the first and only book about his life.

In my days as a fiction writer, I contributed stories to the fabled NECON convention. Just published: a collection of the best of NECON, including a story by Stephen King. My contribution, Freddy and Rita,
a post-Apocalyptic piece, is next to King's in the volume. For more, visit the BIG BOOK OF NECON page. Publisher's Weekly calls it "a killer lineup."
