A Bit About Me And The Book 

Story telling is in my blood. Since I was young I've always loved a good tale. I've been writing seriously since I was in high school and college. My former novels have been in the realm of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. With Boy On The Beach I'm setting the story in modern America, to be exact, the West Coast of California. I'm a native of the golden state and have been a resident of San Diego since 1987. Before that I grew up in northern California and lived in the Sacramento Valley and Bay Area with sojourns in some of the beautiful parts of our state. Living here through several generations I couldn't help but watch the way things have changed in our culture and the impact this coast makes on the rest of America and the world. So even though the story is fiction, like most serious novels, it is not without a context and comment. It takes place in real locations that are very familiar to me and its characters, which are also fictional, no doubt have their counterparts in the real world. It's a story of intrigue, suspense, revenge, love and redemption with flashbacks to the era when sex, drugs and rock and roll set our culture on it's inevitable journey to our present day. This idea has been rattling around in my heart and mind for a decade and it's finally coming to the page. I hope you enjoy it and that it makes you think.
