A Novel, a book of Poetry, and a Play
A Life on Water
. . . is a genre-blending novel about a marine biologist's tour of duty as an Allied spy in Portugal. Under the cover of turtle research, Ardis Lowney’s mission takes her to Lisbon’s sophisticated salons, rustic villages, and sunny beach towns. Just when her cover no longer holds water, she makes an extraordinary discovery at sea, yet comes face-to-face with her would-be lover, staring down the barrel of his luger. The narrative soars with sublime moments that clash with the absurd facades of Fatima, war, and romance. (Cavalarico Books, March 2023)
The Tale of Indigo
In the tradition of Ovid's Metamorphoses, The Tale of Indigo is a love poem that commemorates humanity's deepest and most enduring myth, and confronts the greatest issues of our time: greed, COVID, and climate change. (Cavalarico Books, November 2022)
A Play for the Theatre
A Bill to Pay
. . . is a two-act comedy about the price of life's little decisions. The play is set in my hometown of Waterloo, Ontario, circa 1988.
The story takes place in the midst of Canada's decision to join NAFTA, the initial free trade agreement with the United States and Mexico.
The issues in the play are relevant in light of the last round of USMCA negotiations and the perpetual love-hate relationships of neighbours.
Originally created in 1988-89 and revised in 2018, the play has not been staged, workshopped, or published prior to becoming available as a reader magnet on Cavalarico.com . . . see Email News sign-up form below each page.
Do you know an Artistic Director of a theatre? Perhaps one somewhere wants new Canadian content on their show bill.

Why do I see the world as I do? My vision is part of the mystery of my life that I am gradually getting to the bottom of. . . . My quest to understand the meaning of life, over time, leads me back to the fertile ground of storytelling and the immersion in fiction that brings to life the times and events that are important in our lives.
