Straight On To Stardust, the first full-length play by two-time High Plains Book Award winner Craig Lancaster, opens with a dead father, a son who made a promise to him, and an old dog who's along for the ride.As Clinton Cobb carries his dad's body from Billings, Montana, to burial in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he must confront his memories, the steadily worsening weather, and the hopes and fears of his adult daughter and his ex-wife back home. As Clinton draws nearer to his destination, his past comes full circle and forces him to confront the pain he has buried deep and the details of his past he hasn't shared with those who love him.It's an examination of love, loss, and longing, one that attempts to bridge the chasms that develop among family members who don't know how to talk to each other.The play made its world premiere in October 2023 with a production by Yellowstone Repertory Theatre, a professional troupe based in Billings, Montana. It ran for nine performances, playing to sold-out audiences and drawing rave reviews.

Is love a choice, or is it fate?Jo-Jo Middlebury is done with love. Linus Travers wants one more shot at it. Mr. Blue Sky, their 1970s-loving guardian angel, offers perspective on both when he's not busy diving into reruns of "Happy Days" and "Barney Miller."Linus can save Jo-Jo’s business, but Jo-Jo makes it clear that she needs no one to rescue her, least of all him. Add to that an ex-fiancé with a change of heart, a single mom who wants a good time, and a married couple who’ve blurred the boundaries of their respective friendships with Linus and Jo-Jo.All the while, Mr. Blue Sky observes, explains, and ever-so-gently interacts. Written by wife-husband novelists Elisa Lorello and Craig Lancaster, You, Me & Mr. Blue Sky is a warm-hearted, humorous dive into the depths of love and the mysteries of how two people find their way to each other.PRAISE FOR YOU, ME & MR. BLUE SKY“Authors Elisa Lorello and Craig Lancaster have crafted a charming update on the classic romantic comedy with You, Me & Mr. Blue Sky. Honest, heartwarming, and wickedly funny, this is one love story you won’t want to miss.”—Karen McQuestion, author of HELLO, LOVE“A romance that proceeds as a wonderful argument between two people who need some divine intervention to knock sense into their heads. A fun read from two terrific authors.”—Molly D. Campbell, two-time Erma Bombeck Prize winner and author of KEEP THE ENDS LOOSE and CROSSING THE STREET
