    About this ebook

    A flash of light catches Joseph's eye while he's in his Carnegie Hall dressing room. Joseph's mind flashes back to his youthful days at the family home in the country. Notwithstanding his father's death, his mother's sexual abuse and her mental challenges, he was able to rise above this to become a world class pianist. Even though Joseph's Asperger diagnosed mother is proficient enough to teach at schools such as Julliard or Eastman she lacks the social skills to do so. A huge crowd gathers around the family barn to listen to his mother's out of this world music which leads to a magical ending that forever changes Joseph's life.

    I love children's books. Human imagination is amazing. Escaping into a children's book is for young and old alike. It's a process and a journey. It takes time. There will be future rewrites of the current books: Astro's Adventure and Hare Bounce Tales. It is exciting to have these early drafts available. I'm excited to share the new and updated versions when complete.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
