"WHOOSH is a humorous and heart-rendering three-act play. It deals with the elderly living in senior retirement communities. It expresses their concerns for their future well-being, both physical and cognitive, as well as their relative isolation from the rest of society at large. These issues are the subject of conversation over dinner. LeClaire's frank observations on the human condition are by turns, extremely funny and often troubling as he celebrates life in a senior living retirement community." ~Dr. Alice P. Naylor

Within these pages you will find a collection of poems and writings that represent a beautiful collage of emotions. I believe what makes a collage so beautiful is the randomness of the size of the items, how the items are chosen, or the placement of said items. When I was brainstorming on how I wanted to present my heart, I knew I did not want to group, or categorize, the contents. My desire is that as you read through the collage, you can relate to the joy & pain, love & loss, and hope & reflection and that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Everything you need to know to make a movie, in a single book. From someone who's been in the trenches, done it all, and teaches it.

The Count of Sainte-Hélène: A Balzacian Melodrama takes place in 1817-1818 in Paris, during the Bourbon Restoration when Louis XVIII had been placed on the throne of France at the decree of the Congress of Vienna after the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. This play is based on one of the most sensational cases solved by the first great detective in history, Eugène-François Vidocq, the ex-convict who became head of the French Sûreté (the Security Service of the French police). An altogether extraordinary individual, he was an acquaintance of Victor Hugo, who based both Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert in Les Misérables on Vidocq; and a friend of Balzac, whose character Vautrin is even more closely inspired by and modeled on Vidocq than Hugo's characters are. Interludes of the Hear: A Play about Marcel Proust, his life and loves, was inspired by my love for that author's most famous book, In Search of Lost Time. The play goes back and forth in time, as the Student interviews Céleste Albaret, Proust's housekeeper and general factotum, for his doctoral dissertation. When I read the book, I felt it was as if he were talking directly to me. I am sure many readers have had the same experience. Proust's penetrating picture of the society of his day in pre-World War One France, and of Paris during the war itself, and his amazing, psychologically insightful portrait of each of his characters, his understanding of psychology that in some ways parallels that of Sigmund Freud, makes his book still relevant in today's world.
