Roland Hopkins was born in Boston and spent several years of his income-producing career as a radio disc jockey. Soon, he discovered that newspaper writing was a quieter and more lucrative endeavor and launched what was to become the largest commercial weekly real estate newspaper in the country--the New England Real Estate Journal. But his not so lucrative hobby was thoroughbred racehorses. Not betting on them, but owning them. And while his nags won more than over 300 races at various tracks including Gulf stream, Hialeah, Caldor, Rockingham, and Suffolk downs, among others, he found that it was more frugal writing about them rather than paying their food and veterinarians.  My mother was a movie fanatic and as a result I became a movie fan at a very young age. Movies, Books, TV, Radio – all media is imagination and my imagination grew and grew to a point that I decided to write some of it down – thus a few short stories , and then a book – and then another book, and so on. Writing is a great escape and takes the author into another world – a world of his or her choosing.
