About the author

CD Moulton has traveled extensively over much of the world both in the music business, where he was a rock guitarist, songwriter, and arranger, and in an import/export business. He has been everything from a bar owner to auto salvage (junkyard) manager, longshoreman to high steel worker, orchid grower to landscaper, tropical fish farmer to commercial fisherman. He started writing books in 1983 and has published more than 125 books as of January 1, 2012. His most popular books to date are about research with orchids, though much of his science fiction and fantasy work has proven popular. He wrote the CD Grimes, PI series and the Det. Nick Storie series, among other works.

He now resides in David, Panamá, where he writes the Clint Faraday mystery series, plays music with friends – and pursues his favorite ways to spend his time: beach bum and roaming the mountains doing botanical research. He has recently become involved in fighting the corruption that is rampant in the legal and judicial system. I love Panama’ and that is hurting this country badly.

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.

Dave Calls

Clint Faraday, retired PI from Florida, USA, now living with his people, the Ngobe, in the comarca Ngobe Bugle, Panamá, wrestled in the water with his nine year old son, Nito, and his eight year old daughter, Nicole, in the stream below his home in Quebrada Tula. His beautiful younger wife came from the house to tell him to call Dave as soon as he could.

Clint was seventy two. His wife was twenty nine. She was Ngobe. He was honored to be declared Ngobe by the council, the second to be declared, in a legal sense.
