Writing and Research

_____________________________________________________________________

In addition to scholarly pieces about the Hollywood Novel, I have researched and written nearly 300 articles about unsolved murders in Iowa — the earliest in 1847.

These can be read at the not-for-profit website Iowa Unsolved Murders: Historic Cases. The site makes available the stories of victims of unsolved Iowa historic homicides and honors those who received no justice.

Unsolved Iowa Murders: Historic Cases has the stated philosophy that it will not profit from articles or books about the unsolved murders of our fellow human beings.

My interest in film studies, novels set in Hollywood or about filmmaking, and my passion for research and historical biography have resulted in the publication of four books:

The Film Career of John Schlesinger


John Schlesinger: A Guide to References and Resources

 

The Hollywood Novel and Other Novels About Film: 1912-1982
