Told in the alternating voices of Clark, his harried wife Julia, their high school senior son Charlie and sophomore daughter Katie, RAFT is a comic family adventure that the late, great David Crosby called, "fun and imaginative...just the kind of trip we all need right now."

Littlefoot, Zenon & Cigarettes

After 35 years as a screenwriter and eleven years as a full-time professor there's one thing I know for sure: what we write matters.
Especially in this age where a willful liar is at the helm of our country, we have to take responsibility for the content we release into the cosmos.
Our words have the power to change hearts and minds. We have the ability to create characters that become role models Read more of this blog post »
