The Wrong Page, My Astonishing Life as a Teenager in 1958, is an intimate, humorous self-portrait of a fourteen year old boy suddenly thrust into the adult world and seat of government of the most powerful country on Earth. It is Washington, DC in 1958. The Cold War is going strong and the country is coming apart as the Civil Rights Movement and Viet Nam War protests take center stage. Unsupervised and unaccountable in Washington, DC, he must adjust to living away from home, being alone, confronting bullies, an unfriendly high school, and working in the United States Capitol with congressmen and senators.The Wrong Page is a fun ride through the halls of Congress and the United States Capitol Building with its secret staircases, hidden chambers and a parade of characters who can only be found in the nation's capital.In four brief postscripts with equal humor, the author describes his college years, military experiences, years as a small town car dealer, and life as a road man working for an automobile company. The author's life had indeed been astonishing and then he became a writer and things got really weird. The Wrong Page is a personal narrative infused with humor and the sense of fear and confusion a young boy must confront when he is set adrift in a world within the beltway when there was no beltway. Yes, it really was that way once upon a time.
What if someone you love disappeared, leaving no trace she ever existed? That is the heart-wrenching conundrum facing former pilot, Jack Keeler, now a hard-working Chicago advertising guy who finally found the perfect girl, the soul mate of whom he always dreamed. But when she mysteriously disappears, Jack wonders if she was real or a fantasy. As he struggles with that enigma, he soon realizes his world is not what it seems, and the reality he thought he knew is only an illusion. He suddenly finds himself in a totally different world, one filled with romance, danger and death. When Jack realizes he is a man living in two worlds, his life begins to unravel as he tries to separate the world of reality from the world of illusion. Set against the vibrant backdrop of present day Chicago, a small Indiana town, and the South Pacific in World War Two, Delirium is a haunting love story spanning time and continents. Its compelling, all too human characters jump off the page to join the reader in the mystery, action and romance.
