Fourth Book in the Southern Swallow Series finds the Academician Li K'ai-men in exile on Hai-nan Island. China has a new invasion threat. A showdown between ingenuity and technology explodes as the Sung Dynasty tries to preserve itself.
I love the literary classics and my writing reflects the nuances of eras past. Dos Passos, Hawthorne, Toni Morrison, Cormac McCarthy, Marquez, Hemingway.
Background
Information
I'm a former copywriter and graphic designer by trade. I was inspired early on with short stories on mythology but after reading J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in The Rye" in 1975, I was hooked.
I've also authored several feature screenplays along the way but my passion is in writing the great American novel. As Norman Mailer himself might have advised me, "Good luck with that."
Birth Place
Jersey City, NJ
Accomplishments
Author of "Sleepers," "The Kid from Hoboken, Frank Sinatra's Journey to Stardom," both screenplays, and author of a debut novel "A Death For Beauty or, An Immortal."
