"You are about to read a novel I wrote while in my twenties about four men in their forties who graduated from high school in the fifties and attended their thirty-year reunion in the eighties!" So begins the preamble to my novel, THE D.A.'s FOREVER. Written more than a quarter-century prior to its publication in 2013, THE D.A.'s FOREVER is my firstborn, conceived at a time when the world was a lot different from the way it is now—and when I personally was a lot different from the way I am now. Yet the one constant in my life has been my love of writing.

Born and raised in New Jersey, the setting for my first novel, I have always been an artist, a creator. As a child, I was always drawing cartoons, and my dream was to become a cartoonist whe

"You are about to read a novel I wrote while in my twenties about four men in their forties who graduated from high school in the fifties and attended their thirty-year reunion in the eighties!" So begins the preamble to my novel, THE D.A.'s FOREVER. Written more than a quarter-century prior to its publication in 2013, THE D.A.'s FOREVER is my firstborn, conceived at a time when the world was a lot different from the way it is now—and when I personally was a lot different from the way I am now. Yet the one constant in my life has been my love of writing.

Born and raised in New Jersey, the setting for my first novel, I have always been an artist, a creator. As a child, I was always drawing cartoons, and my dream was to become a cartoonist when I grew up. As life went on, I discovered that I enjoyed writing even more than drawing, and I exchanged one dream for another—although it would take years before the dream was realized. I am grateful to Amazon.com and its Kindle publishing platform for making it possible for me to fulfill my long-held wish. THE D.A.'s FOREVER was published exclusively on Kindle on 31 August 2013; I am currently hard at work on my second novel, LIFE ROCKS ON.

In addition to reading and writing, I adore the great music of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. I guess you might say I'm a real oldies fanatic, and my websites, blogs, and social networks all reflect this passion of mine. You may learn more about me by visiting my website, which has links to all of the sites I manage, including my personal favorite, the comprehensive Oldies Connection.
