Shanghai Escapist grabs the faint-of-heart right from the get-go and serves up an ultimatum: What would you do if caught in the same circumstances? From the opening scene, the reader is tossed into the maze of daily intrigue as it existed in 1960s-70
Dublin 1941. A brutal murder. Mistaken identity. And barman Eamon Foley is running for his life.
Nine months later Foley is in a crowded pub, and his brother-in-law is shot dead.
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."
