Geoffrey B. Cain

I am always working on my latest novel even when I am not writing. My first novel, The Wards of St. Dymphna, was published SoCo Arts & Media back in 2000. I am still sending out the second and working on the third. I also write short stories and poetry. I have written short plays and screen plays but have not seriously persued those genres (at least, not since my first one-act Ten to Nine).

I did some poetry readings with my dad, Jim Cain and my neice, Maegan Cain. We called ourselves the "Three Generations." All three of us read from these chapbooks we wrote and created. It was a great experience.
