About the author

CD was born in Lakeland, Florida. His education is in genetics and botany. He has traveled over much of the world, particularly when he was in music as a rock rhythm guitarist with some well-known bands in the late sixties and early seventies. He has worked as a high steel worker and as a longshoreman, clerk, orchidist, bar owner, salvage yard manager and landscaper – among other things.

CD began writing fiction in 1984 and has more than 115 books published as of this time in SciFi, murder, orchid culture and various other fields.

He now resides in Bocas del Toro and David, Panamá, where he continues research into epiphytic and medicinal plants. He loves the culture of the indigenous people and counts a majority of his closer friends among that group. Several have adopted him as their father. He funds those he can afford through the universities where they have all excelled. The Indios are very intelligent people, they are simply too poor (in material things and money. Culturally, they are very wealthy) to pursue higher education.

CD loves Panamá and the people. He plans to spend the rest of his life in the paradise that is Panamá

- Estrelita Suarez V.

CD has lately become active in fighting the corruption in the court system and police. He is also active in protecting the rights of the Indios, the largest part of his close friends.

CD is involved in research of natural cancer cure at this time. It has proven effective in all cases, so far. It is based on a plant that has been in use for thousands of years, is safe, available, and cheap. He has studied botany, and was cured of a serious lymphoma with use of the plant, Ambrosia peruviana.

Information about this cure is free on the FaceBook page, Ambrosia peruviana for cancer. CD asks only that all who try it please report on its effectiveness on that group.

Unexpected Sunrise

Clint Faraday, 76, retired PI from Florida, now declared Ngobe Indio by the council, woke up and kissed his younger wife lightly, got out of bed and went into the kitchen to put on the coffee. He was addicted to the stuff, not to mention Panamanian coffee was some of the best in the world.

He went outside to stand in the middle of Dave’s (his nutty musician/botanist/author) orchids at Dave’s place in Gualaca to watch the faint beginning light of the sunrise. It was unexpectedly clear today. It was the rainy season, so usually had clouds in the mornings that turned to rain just before sunset. There were a couple of small fleecy clouds that were just getting the pink and gold undertones that dawn brought.

Gualaca was clean and pleasant compared to the nearby city of David.

Hon? Are you outside? his wife, Tyna, called.

Yo!

This isn’t the comarca!

Clint never put on anything in the mornings until he decided what
