About the Book

This book will speak for itself. These are stunning and engrossing short stories.  The reader will become the characters in the book. The characters will come alive. It’s pulsating.  It will take you to distant shores. It should entertain your imagination. At times it will be cruel but my intention is to keep you in suspense.  Suspenseful, pulsating, cruel, intimate. These are stunning and engrossing stories.  You will be able to put your face in these characters.   The book takes you to Southeast Asia, to Europe to Spain. It shares love, joy, deceit, envy, love, hate, passion. It can be racy and bold. Just remember. Don’t look for perfection.   


About the Author

Born, raised and educated in the Philadelphia area. Viet-Nam War veteran (Marine Corps).  Graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Cheyney University.

I analyze myself by looking back at the experiences that life has afforded me the pleasure of having lived. Because of this I have reached the plateau that depicts what I have developed into today.  This has taken considerable time and effort, some good some bad but all of it relevant to having formulated who I am. My life experiences through education and corporate affiliations have allowed me to store 30 years of corporate and educational experience with this generation. Where one has been, and what one has done with their life dictates how they perceive themselves.  I enjoy life even in the face of some adversary conditions always knowing that at some point in time there will be a turning point. This book is a break through.

I invite you to take the challenge of looking at life through a different set of eyes while still remembering the facts of your own story.  This is only the beginning.  In my writings I can share experiences with you that have transcended from the civil rights struggle to Vietnam, Nikita Khrushchev, to Columbine, and a lot of excitement in between.

This first book only touches the surface of my creativity.  My upcoming book will most certainly ignite an explosive controversy. To The Nth Degree.
