Thomas Steinbeck sold numerous screenplays over the life of his career. In 2002, Ballantine Publishing Group, a division of Random House published his first book of short stories entitled, "Down To a Soundless Sea". His first novel, "In the Shadow of the Cypress" was published by Simon and Schuster in 2010, with his third novel, "The Silver Lotus" was published by Counterpoint in 2011. Along with his writing and producing obligations, Mr. Steinbeck often spoke publicly on American literature, creative writing, the contributions of his father, John Steinbeck, and the benefits of the communication arts to contemporary society. He served as an honorary board member at the Stella Adler Theatre in Hollywood, the Center for Steinbeck Studies at San Jose State University and the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas, California . Thomas was an active and verbal proponent of authors' rights. In 2009, he worked closely with his friend Arlo Guthrie, in a successful initiative to implement an extension to the settlement negotiations between Google and the Author's Guild. Mr. Steinbeck contributed to the "My California" project, a collaboration of short stories written by twenty-seven of California's most important authors, to raise money for the floundering California Arts Council. In 2014, he collaborated with his good friend, Benjamin Brode publishing "In Search of the Dark Watchers"; a marriage of art and literature, that the Sacramento Bee called, "the coffee table book of the year". Thomas Steinbeck was writing his memoir at the time of his death on August 11, 2016, in Montecito, California.
