Throne

A man with a terminal illness returns from the Holy Land with an artifact he believes has the ability to heal. Supposedly made by a carpenter in Nazareth some two-thousand years before, he seeks to have the object authenticated. Though the results are inconclusive, he is pressured by his skeptical, yet greedy, brother to capitalize on the situation, which leads to an interview with a local Los Angeles TV station. He finds himself the object of media attention and subsequent sexual desire, as the artifact also brings out the darker, primal urges of anger, jealousy and lust. When the artifact is stolen, he is panicked and driven to the brink of murder to recover what he believes is his only chance to be healed. Through the ordeal, he will wrestle with the issue of faith, the brevity of life, and what he truly believes about both.

About the Author

I was born in Boston and grew up in Connecticut and San Diego, which gave me a good background in both history and tanning. I have four children and six grand-children, remarkable in that I am only 35. The fact that I have been married for almost 36 years is the result of an in-utero wedding and honeymoon.

I have published many short stories, poems, songs, and recently wrote and directed a musical melodrama that was performed in the San Diego area. With six books under my belt (THE PATH OF DAYS, TRACE THE DEAD EYE, HUMOR OF THE GOSPELS, HUMOR OF THE GOSPELS Daily Study, THRONE and THE CHUCK-IT LIST) I am looking for a bigger belt to stuff the seventh, which hopefully will be completed in time for the Christmas season. It is about a writer who finds to his horror that a mistake he made on page 47 completely invalidates the plot, forcing him to thus track down and kill anyone who has bought the book lest they spread the truth about his miniscule talent. It is titled DON'T READ THIS! and looks to be a best-seller, unless people take the title literally. Fortunately, nothing I write can be taken literally. It is also fortunate I did not stay with the working title: DON'T BUY THIS! Personally, I don't buy a word of it.

I also have a blog, I Wandered Off the Tour: A Journey In Self-Publishing, which contains my thoughts and experiences through the tormenting process of creation.

Other than writing, I like listening to the same dozen albums and re-runs of the same dozen TV shows I've heard and seen hundreds of times, to the endless delight of my wife.
