About the author

CD was born in Lakeland, Florida, in 1938. He is educated in genetics and botany. He has traveled extensively, particularly when he was 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 and more.

CD began writing fiction in 1984 and has more than 300 books published in SciFi, murder, orchid culture, and various other fields.

He now resides in Gualaca, Chiriqui, Panamá, where he continues research into epiphytic plants and plays music with friends. He loves the culture of the indigenous people. 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, despite horrendous experiences (Free e-book; Fading Paradise). He plans to spend the rest of his life in the paradise that is Panamá

CD is involved in research of natural cancer cure at this time. It is based on a plant that has been in use for centuries, is safe, available, and cheap. Information about this cure is free on the FaceBook page: Ambrosia peruviana for cancer.

No hot water. Shit fire! After about eight, the neighbors used it all.

Grimace and bear it.

Damn it to hell! There was a stain of some sort, right over her left boob! It wasn’t there last night when she laid the dress out!

Was it?

One thing was good. It was in a spot she could cover with the Cure Cancer brooch. It would be right in style, plus, she was looking for a job as a cancer research assistant at Mercy General Hospital. It would be something she would’ve worn, anyhow, if not at that spot.

Hair, impossible this morning. It had rained in the night, and the humidity was ... she had an expensive
