Book excerpt: Eustace Cockrell's writing career began at age twenty-two when his first story, co-authored with his older brother Francis M. Cockrell, was published in Blue Book (September 1932), a major pulp fiction magazine. Moving from Missouri to Los Angeles in the mid-1930s, he continued to write not only for pulp publications but also for "slicks" like Collier's and Saturday Evening Post. In the early 1940s, MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) purchased the rights to several of his stories that later became movies including Fast Company and Tennessee Champ. It was his television scripts, however, that brought Cockrell fame. Hollywood Stories is a collection of the author's original tales that captured the imagination of an entire generation and made TV trays a necessity in every American home. In Cockrell's "Hollywood stories," this excitement returns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Adventure. That's the key word here. Every play in this collection began with a question, a strong scene, image, or situation that haunted me, whose mystery could only be solved by writing it, moving step by step into unknown territory, emboldening me with clues and discoveries, as I moved forward, loving the danger of it, dancing on quicksand. 'We're lucky,' William Carlos Williams tells us, 'when we catch the evasive life of the thing.' With these plays, and the one I'm writing now, I feel lucky to still be spending my days in pursuit of it." Edward Pomerantz New York City EDWARD POMERANTZ has written over 35 commissioned screenplays and teleplays, and is the recipient of two Writers Guild Awards. He wrote the movie CAUGHT, based on his novel INTO IT, released by Sony Pictures Classics and nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards.
