Little America
Little America is a modern Oedipal romp through hilarious adventures as the major characters race westward toward their destinies to Little America, Wyoming, in the bicentennial year of 1976.

Orville Hollinday has always struggled to both please and get even with his father, Senior, who constantly belittles him. Orville keeps trying to blow up Senior's cadillacs. Senior just doesn't notice.

Orville moves to Little America to find a girl just like the girl, Flora, who married his father. He doesn't know that Senior and Flora, each with a different partner, will ultimately make surprise appearances in Wyoming.

"Satire that is fast, comical and a little mean about an all-American boy who makes a career out of murdering Dad." (Newsday)

He has published poetry and most recently co-authored, with Robert Johansen, Upsizing the Individual in the Downsized Organization. He is at work on a new novel.
