Literary Agent:    n/a

Chicago-born playwright Craig Sodaro began writing plays in grade school and continued creating unusual Dramatic pieces (the Dismembered Pencil) in high school. While attending Marquette University in Milwaukee, he studied playwriting and had several shows produced by the university Theater group, the Marquette Players. With a degree in journalism and English, Sodaro began a teaching career that would last thirty-three years. During that time he continued to write plays, often for schools or theatrical groups with which he worked. This led to his first published play, Forlorn at the Fort, in Plays Magazine, a meloDrama written for the Frontier Outlaw Troupe which he directed for thirteen years. In 1976 his first full-length play, Tea and Arsenic, appeared, and since that time he has had over one hundred plays published by various play publishers around the country. His plays Hush, Little Baby, and Second Hand Kid were performed in New York and Lost Angeles, and his works have been produced around the world. Over a dozen of his plays have been translated into Dutch and German. Sodaro now writes full time and lives high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains with his wife Sue.

Cloak and Dagger

Synopsis:
In this spoof of "Casablanca," the "usual" suspects appear-a fortune hunter, a crook, and a spy-but in this case, they take the form of a Texas cowgirl, a mysterious damsel in distress, and a tone-deaf cafe singer. It's 1942 and with World War II raging in Europe, Nick, a cynical cafe owner in northern Africa, has to constantly be on the lookout for enemy spies. A fortune- teller warns Nick that a mysterious, murderous spy will appear at the cafe wearing a cloak and carrying a hidden dagger. But when five women appear at the cafe wearing cloaks and carrying hidden daggers, the warning doesn't prove too helpful. And to top if off, one of the women is Nick's long-lost love, Lola! then when a shadowy businessman is found dead with a dagger stuck in his back, Nick elicits the help of his waiter, Ziggy, to expose the spy before another customer turns up dead.

When the cookie money goes missing and the museum curator is found dead, bake-sale volunteers at the Houtini House Museum immediately suspect foul play. But with the police chief away on vacation, the bake-salers are forced to put aside their mixing bowls to become volunteer sleuths. Finding clues proves difficult, but with the aid of a teenage mystery buff, they manage to find the murder weapon-a plate of brownies. However, when another body shows up, the bake-salers wonder if they can unravel the mystery before anyone else partakes in a sweet to die for.

Nifty-Fifties Maltshop Murder, The

Nifty-Fifties Maltshop Murder, The
A quintessential 1950s mom, June Seevers, and her committee are working hard to win the Small Town USA title and a cash prize for their town of Sunnydale. the judges are due in two days to verify that it is, indeed, an All-American, apple pie-eating, crime-free hamlet. Did we say crime free? then what about the mysterious customer at the Malt Shop who falls over dead during the committee's final meeting? It looks like he was poisoned, and the victim's sister may be a committee member! But who? With the help of her family, the prissy librarian, and even the goofy deputy sheriff, June manages to unmask the killer, but not before the killer tries to outsmart - and silence the amateur sleuth.
