Welcome to my Home page.
Home for me has been for some time now, the polishing up of my first novel, Catch Us If You Can. The setting in a small North Jersey town during the late 1960’s is taken from a small corner of my heart. Written like narrative memoir, the story is anything but.
Please read it and let me know what you think. If you’re a Baby Boomer, did it stir up any of those wistful feelings from our time? If you’re from a younger generation, whose world now seems so ridden with strife and frustration with the status quo, know that your questioning minds and rebellious hearts are in the right place—we’ve been there before.
I remember it vividly, not like it was just yesterday but not like it was twenty-two years ago either. I was sitting in my great seats at the Great Western Forum watching as the game neared its great ending, the Lakers trying to put a little magic back in their first Magic-less playoff series with the Trailblazers, and we were cautioned about leaving the game that day. To a season ticket holder it was unusual to say the least. I didn’t realize it when being broadcast during lulls in the game, but it soon thereafter became clear that there was an obvious effort on the part of the public address announcer not to stir any panic.
