FINDING HIS NICHE: Andover-raised Arthur Wooten, 50, recently discovered a
mid-career talent for writing plays and a new novel, \"On Picking Fruit,\" about the
trials and tribulations of gay dating, which debuts later this month. His work has
been nominated for several awards -- the Lambda Literary Award, the Stonewall Book
Award, and the Publishing Triangle Award.

Wooten, a University of Massachusetts graduate, spent 10 years as a theater actor in
New York City and then evolved into a shiatsu massage practitioner. But now he is
focusing on writing. He has a sequel to \"On Picking Fruit\" called \"Fruit Cocktail\"
-- due out next spring. \"Whether you\'re straight, bisexual, lesbian, gay, or just
confused, dating scenarios are universal,\" Wooten said in a written statement. \" \'On
Picking Fruit\' is fast and breezy but also heartbreaking and full of hope.\"
