How To Buy
Why Stevie Can't Date is
imminently affordable in
paperback via these fine
e-retailers:
"Steve's life is a lot like Hugh Hefner's, but without the money, the women or the mansion. Most guys lie about sex. Steve doesn't. He makes the same mistakes we all make, but he tells you about them. A funny look at growing up on the fringes of show business." -- Jay Leno
Why Stevie Can't Date grew from my participation in Story Salon, L.A.'s longest running storytelling venue. I like to say it's about a couple of cars; a couple of girlfriends; a couple of wives; a couple of hookers; and a couple of days in jail. But not necessarily all together.
"Reading Steve Robinson's precise and evocative memories is like catching up with your old college roommate during a long night in a dim bar somewhere between Needles and Barstow." -- Joseph Dougherty, Emmy-winning writer of thirtysomething and Comfort and Joi.
A collection of autobiographical short stories, you could call Why Stevie Can't Date a celebrity-offspring tell-all--just way more about the offspring than the celebrity, whom you're likely to never have heard of if you're under 50. Henry (not Harry) Morgan was a big radio star in the 1940s, and a TV star in the '50s and '60s. He can still be seen late at night when The Game Show Network airs old episodes of I've Got a Secret. There is one story in the book about my father. But even that is really still basically about me. It's about little adventures I've had, mostly in California and Nevada, some romantic, some not so much--which in the end was probably best.
