DREAM, SWEET DREAMS OF YOU NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR: 1976 I was twenty-five when I wrote Dream, Sweet Dreams of You. I had just returned from a failed opportunity on the East Coast. My parents were living in Los Angeles, and they opened their doors to me to stay with them until I could figure out my next journey. My Grandmother, who was 80 years old, also lived with my parents. One late night, I was watching Johnny Carson, I was trying to get myself tired to get a good night's sleep. Because of my recent employment, I pretty much quit the job and lost all the self-esteem that I ever possessed. I was depressed and didn't have any idea who I was. One night, I heard a back bedroom door open. During those days, everybody had carpet. However, my parents had original wood floors. I heard slippers shuffling, heading for the living room, It was my Grandmother, Rafella. She was wearing her fake silk pink bathrobe and came and sat next to me on the couch. I smiled at her and noticed that she was crying. I asked her why she was upset. She told me that she had a favor to ask of me. Of course, I told her anything. She started crying again and asked me if I would write her story. I smiled and told her that a good story must have diversity. She was way too lovable to have a good variability. She wiped her eyes and told me her life was full of diversity. It was a story of survival, love, and forgiveness. I loved my Grandmother, and of course, I told her I would write her story. It took us two years to come up with our first draft. The following novel is Rafella, Botiller, Vasquez, Ramirez's biography. It is a tale of love, survival, heartbreak, and, most importantly, forgiveness. She gave me her life, a basis for my identity, by introducing me to my past relatives, allowing me to love them, explore their success, and become a genuine family member. Because of my Grandmother, I have a legacy, hope, and a real sense of who I am.

When, in 1978, an innocent, somewhat naive adolescent from the predominantly white and Jewish neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia, befriends an Italian, meth-mainlining, fatherless, petty criminal from South Philadelphia in the seething, gang-riddled Black and Hispanic cauldron that was Strawberry Mansion in 1978, a type of social science experiment ensues. Will the structured, family-centered appeal of the Jewish boy's grandparents' home and values provide the street urchin the stability he craves? Or will the allure of illicit adventure and the taste of forbidden love taint the adolescent's wholesomeness? This is the story that unravels in a novel where the bond of friendship is strained to the breaking point by the combination of thievery, illegal narcotics, sex, deceit and a gruesome homicide. Decades later, when this unlikely friendship has a chance to rekindle, when the boys have grown into young men, morphed and matured in what appears to be fundamental ways, what form will their reinvented relationship take? How will the bond reforge? And can the balm of the present heal the wounds of the past? These are the questions that are confronted and finally reconciled in the coming-of-age novel, Michale's Place.

A Dad's behavior communicates a lot to his son. In traditional families, a son looks up to his dad as a model for his behavior. When a dadcreates opportunities for free discussions with his son, the son grows up respecting and trusting him as his model. On the the other hand, when a dad becomes an authoritarian by laying down rules and regulations for his son without adequate and reasonable explanations or discussions, the son may resent it, feel alienated, and seek other avenues, albeit honorable or dishonorable for answers to his problems. "Sons and Dads: Who Will Reconcile Them?" is a fiction-Christian narrative that talks about two sons, their dads, the trials and tribulations they encountered, and finally how they got reconciled. The episodes contained in the book are relevant, if not similar, to what is happening in current times.

Far from being a poet of note or the wordsmith I wish to be, I've been flattered by others asking how I do it. Without the benefit of salient literary instruction, I'm urged to write as providential inspiration may move while caring immensely about the outcome. I have learned that writing poems is cathartic and a wonderful laxative for the mind. Thus, to that question I responded with the poem Take a Thought...Wholesome and Good to describe my way. That isn't to say all poets follow the same creative pattern and surely they don't - I boast only of myself.
