Big talk and bigger dreams poured out of a bottle for about 18 years, with the resulting traumas being my interpretation of adventure.  Then, at 31 years of age, I placed the plug in the jug and discovered a whole new world, where dreams could become realities.  I didn't hesitate to take full advantage of this newfound freedom, and set out to accomplish my dreams. To travel into the Amazon jungle was one of these, and 5 years of living in Venezuela extinguished that burning desire.  That journey, complete with personal background, is relived in my book, 'Hooked on a Drumbeat.' Now it is time to take the rest of past life experiences, and have them develope as they could have, should have,  or I wished they would have, through the medium of novels.
