Life can be wonderful; then again, life can be a total mess especially for a young boy just emerging from childhood into puberty and adulthood. Being a teenager can be a bitch at the best of times but when trying to cope with a family break-up it is even tougher. The following chapters are pieces of my life from ages twelve to eighteen in a South Africa fraught with racism. It is a snapshot of my life through the years written as a series of short anecdotes. Some are sad, some are funny, some are uplifting and some are naughty but hopefully all will entertain. Writing this has been difficult yet fulfilling. Where the memory has faded, I have invoked poetic license and used my imagination. If I have offended anyone in my writings, I apologize emphatically and can assure you it is not deliberate. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Warning! This book contains coarse language, which may be offensive to some readers. [more]

"The Barrio of Beverly Hills (excerpted from THE ORANGE MESSIAH) is a dazzling family saga set in the transformational period of the early 1970’s. The hippies, the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin were in their heyday. Movies like Jesus Christ Superstar and A Clockwork Orange were huge hits. Fifty thousand Americans had been lost in Viet Nam, and a Constitutional Amendment had been passed, banning discrimination against women based on their gender. Against this backdrop, Ramona and Carlos Batista, half-Hispanic twins and their friend and lover, Jonah Cahn, are coming of age in Los Angeles. Their story is one of bloody murder and sizzling sex, riotous adventure and heart-wrenching tragedy. It is also a comical roadtrip where everyone “inhales” and one character almost gets drowned by a Spanish-speaking horse. This is in-your-face story telling, visceral yet sublimely poetic, a guaranteed “must read” for anyone who loves a good story. [more]
