East Hampton Blue
"Raebeck writes with deftness, profound relational insight and great authority — about surfing, parenting, the construction business, failing marriages and sadness at life's frequent injuries and injustices."
--Southampton Press
From back cover:
Living on Long Island’s fast-developing East End, local builder Michael Dorian is forced to reckon: with his failed marriage and teenage daughter riddled with anxiety; with his ambitious brother/business partner who leads him deep into the maw of ruthless development; with the nature of a hauntingly beautiful place that offers opportunity but no longer feels like home.
Amagansett '84
A coming-of-age tale set on Long Island's still bucolic East End.
"Quietly mesmerizing... to its breathless conclusion." -- Craig Jones, IndieReader
Louse Point: Stories from the East End
Critically acclaimed collection of tales set on Long Island's hauntingly beautiful East End.
"A poignant, often riveting, collection that delves into the intricacies of love, family, marriage, and community on the East End of Long Island." —Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
Filmed at LTV Studios, featuring Gerard Doyle
Fremont's Farewell
A one-person play in two acts, Fremont's Farewell follows a teacher in his final days taking on all comers. "I loved it. Fremont in freefall is truly moving." --David Kranes, former director of Sundance Playwriting Institute.
