"The mark of a really great writer is that he or she gives expression to what the masses of mankind think or feel without knowing it. The mediocre writer simply writes what everyone would have said."

Manuscripts (fiction and nonfiction)
The End of Innocence, environmental policy analysis.
    (A congressman attempts to solve the puzzle of the largest remaining unprotected swath of wild land in the Lower 48 states and, in the process, could redefine wilderness designation through concensus.)
When Locked Doors Open, a coming-of-age story.
    (A boy finds a set of keys found on a tennis court in eighth grade. The keys unlock doors he never means to open and lead to life-changing lessons and a life-changing move.)
The Snow Inside Me, an untellable tale of hope.
    (Brings out the chicken-and-egg issue, as in the movie Stranger Than Fiction, of whether the story makes life or if life makes the story. Also an investigation into discovering the stories of our lives, and the story of how and why the story itself cannot exist.)

The Rock and the Tree, a children's story.
    (A rock and tree have a conversation about how life has molded them into unique individuals.)
