Tom Statler was just going for a hike in the mountains! He would like a bit of adventure, but was more wanting to relax and think about what he wanted to do and what he had done.

Face it! He had no idea of why he was out here, but was more than happy to be. It was nothing like he expected. All he knew was from books.

He damned well hadn’t learned any of this from a book!

About the author

CD was born in Lakeland, Florida, in 1938. He is educated 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 300 books published as of 3/15/16 in SciFi, murder, orchid culture and various other fields.

He now resides in Puerto Armuelles David and Gualaca, Chiriqui, Panamá, where he continues research into epiphytic plants and plays music with friends. 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, 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 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, Artemisia annua.

Information about this cure is free on the FaceBook group, Artemisia Cancer Cure plus. CD asks only that all who try it please report on its effectiveness on that group.

Enough Boredom, Already!

Tom Statler waved goodbye to the crew (he was a lineman for a small to middling independent electric company in a noplace county in the middle of nowhere).

A month’s vacation. Whoopie!

He went to his apartment, a sort of ordinary four room ... apartment. It was in a typical building, with six other apartments.

He only knew his neighbors to nod to. He was there three years now, as were all of them. They had promised privacy, and they damned well delivered it!

Four couples, retired, and two sour spinsters who were suspicious if anyone dared to say Good morning! to them.

Face it. He was the one who didn’t fit.

His friends, such as they were, were at work. Two were a lot like Tom in their situation (hiding from someone)(or the law).
