Just in time for the holidays comes
PEN PALS: The Novel!
I turned my off-Broadway play – that’s been running for over a year – and turned it into a novel. Now if someone you love, someone you miss, or someone you haven’t talked to in a long, long time, can’t come to the DR2 Theatre in NYC to see the play, you can bring the play to them – in the form of a book.

‘TWAS THE VAMPIRE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, The blood poured so freely from their necks to my mouth. Just one drop from Johnny, another from Sue, But what’s in that crib? Why, a babe wrapped in blue. Like a fine wine uncorked, a diamond ‘neath coal Such a gift was […]
