ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Отрывок из книги

When you spend much of your life writing fiction for your own amusement – as I have – it is a true eye-opener when one day you find that others are interested in reading what you have written. My first published novel resulted in such an interesting series of events for me. First, the lovely Lora Chan, single-handedly sold about 100 copies of my first novel, The Jefferson Files to virtually every person she came across. Her conversation starter went from, “Do you read mysteries?” to “Would you like me to ask him to autograph it for you?” before most of those nice people even knew it, they had actually purchased a book.

Then there was the book launch party that my daughter, Aimee, threw for me in Brooklyn. Family and friends – many of the friends who attended that evening were my daughter’s – and all who attended were supportive. These wonderful people not only came and listened to what I had to say, but also purchased copies of my novel. Some may even have read it!

.....

And that warm and supportive reception during the Bloomfield Book Fair, where I was permitted to read passages from my novel and sign copies; thank you Marie Robinson…

At the Bloomfield Book Fair I met the hard working and very effective June Hyjek. June was the President of the Connecticut chapter of APSS, a writer’s group, at the time. As an APSS member I had numerous opportunities to present my novel to many new audiences. It was June Hyjek who tenaciously fought the politicians in Hartford and didn’t stop until the Governor declared September 1st, 2015 as Connecticut Author’s Day, proving once again that the right man for a job is more often than not, a woman!
