The collected works

A life made in stories

Songs, screenplays, books, poems and a spiritual search—gathered into one evolving portrait of Douglas Heyes Jr.

A guitar, songbook and microphone beside Highway 99 in California light

Songs & lyrics

Road songs, love songs, hard-won hope and strange visions from an expansive American songbook.

Film frames, a drive-in screen and a vintage television on a California road

Screen & stage

Screenplays, treatments, dramatic ideas and a career shaped by television storytelling.

An open hand, a bound book and luminous river ripples beneath the Central Valley sun

Books & poems

Published work, long-form writing, poetry and manuscripts from across Douglas’s life.

Compassionate hands and figures where California orchards meet rainforest foliage

Healing & philosophy

A personal path through recovery, spiritual psychology, presence and service.

Still unfolding

A collection with miles left to travel.

This site brings Douglas’s work into conversation across forms: a lyric can echo a screenplay, a road story can open into a spiritual question, and a lifetime in California can meet a much wider world.

New writing, recordings and images will continue to join the collection as they are prepared for readers and listeners.
