Donald Ray Schwartz has published nearly 200 works, including short stories, essays, articles, reviews and criticisms, a novella, and non-fiction works. Lillian Russell: A Bio Bibliography, in collaboration with Anne Bowbeer is considered the definitive resource on the late 19th, early 20th centuries chanteuse and a significant contribution to that period of American theater in general. Noah's Ark: An Annotated Encyclopedia of All the Animal Species in the Hebrew Bible was the Jewish Book Club Selection of the month in the year it was published, and is still considered the definitive resource for that subject.
