I began my writing career as a playwright/composer/screenwriter and recently shifted my work to writing novels. My musicals, "Einstein's Breakfast," "Coconut Road" and "Plain Beautiful" with composers Diana Belkowski and John W. Thompson, and stage plays, including "Blind Man's Bluff" and "Character Analysis" have been seen and enjoyed by over 10,000 people. "The Etching" is my first novel, and my second "Harpey Mendelson, will follow shortly. I hope you enjoy my novels and visit my website at haroldlschmidt.com for frequent updates!
