As often as not, action moves a story forward in a film (You "hear" a play - you "see" a film). I'm finding fiction to be a combination of the both. I love character. I love creating voices. That's the playwright in me. I'm also now enjoying creating "visuals" on the page - description that wouldn't necessarily be in a stage play or a screenplay. In some ways a novelist is a playwright, director and set designer (with a sprinkling of poet) all rolled into one.(less)

The Falling Man

9-11-2026
From my stage play, THE TRAGIC AGE, written in 2014. As is so often the case, I don’t think I realized the magnitude of what I was writing about. Regardless, the image of the falling man has stayed with me for twenty-five years.

Night. The distant sound of thunder. Lightning flickers in the room. Dakin stands stage center, lost in thought. The sudden sound of a woman crying out-
