Author - Donald Dewey
Donald Dewey wrote some 40 books of fiction and nonfiction, as well as contributed scores of stories to magazines and other periodicals. He also had some 30 plays staged in Europe and the United States. Donald's awards included those named after Nelson Algren and the Actors Studio. Dewey was a widower with one son and lived in Jamaica, New York until his passing in 2022. At one point he lived in Europe for 14 years, writing screenplays and working for the Italian news agency ANSA. Dewey was editor of the ASME-award winning magazine Attenzione and was editorial director of the East-West Network, overseeing a dozen in-flight magazines and the PBS organ Dial. He was also a theater critic for WNYC in New York and spent far too much time for his health watching the Mets (in fact, it may have contributed to his demise.)
