In my "day job," I'm a full time ePublisher of educational content for the iPad. Personally, I'm a linguist, visionary technologist and proud father of two amazingly sucessful young adults. But my private time passion is writing. I've just published my first novel, started over 40 years ago, when I arrived in Europe at the age of 19, I discovered the handwritten manuscript in a old box earlier this year. I'm very excited to be able to share this very cool story with so many now.

It's part miracle that I found it and part time machine that I was able to channel the "rest of the story" into a hopefully very enjoyable read. The book is a fictional historical mystery novel about the international militant student movements of the early 70s, set primarily in West Germany. A young Texan is thought to be dead along with more than 40 other students on a flight to Europe. Their bodies and hundreds of thousands of dollars in U.S. cash are washing up on French beaches.

Lust for sex, drugs, money and political power buffets young Americans. entangling them in trying to solve the mystery surrounding the downing of the students' flight as they witness the start of a bloody revolutionary war by militants against the War in Vietnam. Interesting informative history, great characters, realistic dialog, intriguing plots and subplots with lots of twists, turns and surprises!.

I hope you'll read and enjoy my book. LUST & WAR is available now on Amazon as both an ebook and in paper back.

Love and Light,
