C.J. Verburg

4.1/5 ( ratings)

San Francisco writer CJ Verburg is an award-winning playwright, theater director, and author of best-selling books, including the international literature collections Ourselves Among Others and Making Contact.

Carol started her literary career before age one, telling stories to a rapt audience of stuffed animals. In her early teens she wrote her first novel and won her first playwriting award. At Mount Holyoke College she wrote the book and lyrics for the first rock musical, We Could Save the World. Since then she's worked as a cocktail waitress, newspaper proofreader, part-time boat-builder, and an in-house and freelance trade and textbook editor and author in Boston and San Francisco.

Her Cory Goodwin mystery series includes Silent Night Violent Night, an hommage to the noir side of publishing, and Another Number for the Road,, the first multimedia literary rock-&-roll novel.

For many years she ran theater companies on Cape Cod and lived up the road from the artist and author Edward Gorey. They became close friends and frequent collaborators on a variety of theatrical and other adventures, which inspired her multimedia memoir Edward Gorey On Stage and her Edgar Rowdey Cape Cod mystery series: Croaked, Zapped, Shafted, or The Toastrack Enigma, and the stories "Disarmed" and "A Terrible Tragedy."
