As Edward Bear, the author wrote a series of recovery books based on twelve step programs, and a novel. The Dark Night of Recovery: Conversations from the Bottom of the Bottle is the first of five irreverent and charming guides through life's hectic path.

The Cocktail Cart is an award-winning novel about the capacity of people to heal and to help others in life's transitions while in hospice care.

Writing under his own name, Marty Slattery is the author of two other novels. Diamonds Are Trumps: A Pitcher's First Novel is a funny, poignant, and lyrical novel about minor league baseball and the world beyond the dugout. Poison Weeds is a down and dirty look at life behind prison walls.

No matter what the subject - recovery, life's transitions, baseball or prison - Marty writes sparkling dialog and introduces us to unforgettable characters who have remarkable stories of hope and humor to share with us.
