Little America
My first novel, published in 1977. A satire about cars, fast food and sex in America, full of bicentennial jokes and speed. Orville Hollinday wants two things in life: to kill his father Senior and to have his own gas pump in Little America, Wyoming. Although it has been optioned many times for the movies, it has not made it to the screen... yet. It was published in paperback (Pocket Books) in the US and in England. Currently under option by Snaproll Films.

Buy it from Barnes and Noble.
A.K.A./A Cosmic Fable
My second novel was far more outrageously science-fiction like, but it certainly is not science fiction. Avery K. Augenblaue, gazillionaire, leaves for outer space in his bagel shaped space ship. When he gets back all hell breaks loose. Available from the author, who has several hundred copies of the British paperback version

The Time Trip
This is one of my favorites, a sort of California Yankee in Gilgamesh's court, a retelling of the old Sumerian epic. Gilgamesh a harrassed bureaucrat trying to keep a country running with little help but a reed and some damp clay tablets. Time travel and an early look at the great computer network we now have. In the late 1970s this was cutting edge, clunky big monitors and teletype printers. It also contains the lyrics of a song I bought for a dollar from a friend. The Great Sunnyvale novel before there was a Sillicon Valley. NEW! Now also available in print-on-demand format in the Backinprint.com program.

Buy it at Barnes & Noble.
