I've written books on the TV careers of James Garner and David Janssen; I also contribute to such publications as The Wave, Media Life and Bell TV Magazine
About me: I am a versatile, reliable author,
editor, journalist and ghostwriter who specializes in
pop culture, entertainment and media. I've had
six books published, including including two on the
television
career of James Garner:
Maverick: Legend of the West,
a history of Garner's classic Western from the 1950s,
and
Thirty Years of The Rockford Files,
a behind-the-scenes look at Jim's other landmark series,
The Rockford Files.
I am also co-host, along
with Frankie Montiforte, of
TV Confidential,
a bi-weekly radio program that takes listeners behind the scenes of all aspects
of television.
In addition, I work with
publishers, agents, authors, and experts from many
fields as a
ghostwriter,
book doctor,collaboratorand
editor. While pop culture is my forte
as a solo writer, I cover a
wide range of genres as a
collaborator, including memoirs, biography, history,
politics, business, leadership and achievement,
investigative journalism, self-help and personal
growth. My previous collaborations include
VOICE OF REASON
by National Radio Hall of Fame nominee Ronn Owens;
THE ETHICS OF STAR TREK,
an engaging blend of pop culture, classic philosophy,
and Star Trek ideology that I co-authored with
Indiana State University professor Judith Barad; and
KEEP ON KEEPING ON,
a memoir that I co-wrote with Jean Davis. In addition, my work appears in such
titles as the New York Times best-selling anthology
CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE WRITER's SOUL,
as well as other publications and media venues throughout the U.S., U.K. and
Canada.
I've also appeared as a speaker and panelist on topics
related to writing and publishing, including
presentations before the
Bay Area
Editors Forum,
American River College, and
Northern California Writers and Artists.
I am a regular guest on
The Ronn
Owens Program
(Northern California's No. 1-rated radio show), where I
am known as "Doctor Rerun," and have also appeared on
nearly 200 radio and TV programs as an expert on television, including E! News Daily, CNN Showbiz Today,BBC Radio,
Voice of
America Radio
and Entertainment Tonight. In addition, I have consulted on and provided
onscreen commentary for several TV documentaries,
including
”Hollywood Maverick,”an hour-long profile of
James Garner that airs regularly on the Biography
Channel; "Who Shot J.R.: The Dallas Phenomenon," a
30-minute feature produced by Warner Bros. exclusively
for
Dallas:
The Complete Third Season DVD Collection,
and "Time's Up," a segment on ageism in Hollywood,
produced by E! Entertainment Television for The High
Price of Fame.
Who I'd like to meet: Television watchers in general (which shows are your favorites, be they current or classic, and why); television writers; television critics; television professionals; fans of crime and detective fiction (be it mystery novels or shows like The Rockford Files or C.S.I.); mystery and/or true crime writers; book publishers, book packagers, literary agents, or anyone else seeking writing or editorial assistance; radio broadcasters and podcasters; production companies and/or talent agencies seeking expert research, liner notes preparation, or video/audio commentary for DVD and other projects
