In Max Lakeman and the Beautiful Stranger (1990), Max Lakeman lives with his family and their dog in a Philadelphia suburb, where he cuts lawns for a living. He loves his job, but daydreams as he works, and his dream of an affair with a beautiful woman comes true. To his dismay, her husband, a brilliant surgeon, finds out; in the end, though, it all turns out to be just a dream.

The Man in the Window is the story of "two losing loners who find each other - and love," according to a Kirkus Reviews writer. He is the co-writer of the film Minority Report, directed by Steven Spielberg. His latest novel is Harry's Trees.
