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. For more, including links to the blog and Facebook page, click here.

DOCUMENTARY

STORY

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."

A STORY-TELLING COMPANY
