I am a writer of absurdist humor, whether it be for adults or children. My children's picture book "Gerty The Pig" is in The National Accelerated Readers Program. "Pop Star" is a co-written song of mine (co-written and performed by Billy Livesay)that has received radio airplay. Steve Goodie (performer)and I co-wrote "Halloween" which has also recieved airplay.

My latest book is "The Louie/God Interviews (What The Big Fella Really Thinks About Man And The Universe)" Are the days of "God speaks to Man" a relic of the past? Not according to Louie Lawent, who at the turn of the new millennium landed a series of exclusive interviews with The Supreme Being. Louie grills God about his checkered career, but it's done benignly and a frustrated Creator makes a good case for himself - well, most of the time. The interviews cover biblical happenings, His propensity to smite, evolution, pop culture, and a God who believes He's the victim of a disinformation campaign. It's "The Far Side" meets "The Thinker" meets the "Frat Boy." A God who considered creation "a good day in the hood." What Hollywood director would God choose to direct his life story? What part do the Three Stooges play in the Rapture? What about his pet peeves? How do Americans amaze God? What's his favorite political joke? Did the aliens really land at Roswell? A God not exactly enamored by the human race. Louie: What is your real opinion of people? God: They're like radio songs that are fine for the car ride home, but you'd never purchase them to be part of your master collection. Louie: Do you have a guidebook to help make your decisions on Judgment Day? God: The Starr Report is any good God's starting point. God remarks, "I don't think I could be elected God. I'd lose to some would-be savior who said, 'Read my lips - No more sense of shame.' We have occasional pep rallies in heaven. While years ago they sang rousing psalms of 'God for eternity' now I get a qualified endorsement of '4 more years, 4 more years.'"
