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.

Introducing Tony Vega

Antonio (Tony) Vega M. (for Martinez) sighed and maneuvered the boat to the dock, where he would have to wait at least half an hour before he could get fuel.

Oh, well. He was used to it. He could spend the time finding out what the locals were up to. He liked to keep up to date on some things. He had been a cop here in Panama for 18 years. From walking a beat to a bicycle, to a motorcycle, to a car – when he was promoted to Specialist Detective in Homicide and Violent Crimes.

He was actually pretty good, but retired when he had the opportunity. Crime was getting out of hand, and the corruption in the police and courts was just too much to fight. Too many mobsters, local as well as Colombian and Mexican. He couldn’t live with what he had to submit to, in a moral sense, if he continued.

He had done the regular tours of duty all over the country. He liked Bocas del Toro, the archipelago, very much. He liked the island life (except Isla Colon, which was just another Caribbean tourist trap) more than the interior, though he loved the mountains and, unlike most cops here, loved the Indios. He had taken the time and effort to learn about their culture, and saw how misunderstood they were.

Silvio Smith (A lot of the Indios had names from the tourists who were their Grandfather or such), said that the drowning of that English woman just didn’t seem ... right. It couldn’t have happened the way they said. Not there.

Tony understood how the Indios thought. They had, at times, uncanny ability to find an oddity in what seemed a natural occurrence.

It seemed a part-time resident
