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]

For as long as she could remember, Serenity had known she was a fish out of water. Her father was rich, powerful, and down home; her mother was a social climbing bitch. Her father wanted her to be more genteel; her mother wanted her to be a carbon copy of herself. What they had gotten was a young woman who spoke her mind, often tactlessly, and could not be bothered about such things as fashion, schmoozing and finding a man to give her the empty meaningless life she saw her mother, now on her next and third husband, apparently enjoying. Her oldest brother, Jordan, took after their father and he shared their father’s bemusement at her. Their younger half-siblings, Melisande and Gavin, took after their mother and they looked at her askance and avoided her in social situations. So most of the time, she spent by herself doing what she wanted and avoiding the company of people she was supposed to be with. When she was in a social situation, she was there under protest at most times. She soon learned to find someone worth her time and she got quite good at avoiding those who saw her only as a means to ‘get in good’ with her father or brother. [more]
