About
I was born and raised in NYC in the late 1960's. As far back as 8 years old, I loved to write stories that would come to me anytime, anywhere, and I wanted to share them with anyone I could. My dream was twofold; I either wanted to write movies, or make a living writing books. I went to DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, then moved on to a 4 year degree from Utica College (formally of Syracuse University). After wandering aimlessly for a little while, i settled in the Midwestern US, where I met my wife. I have 2 kids, inluding once with special needs. He is the reason I keep writing, hopiing i can catch lighting in a bottle to help him and other kids like him. I hope we get to chat soon!
Description
<p>What if you treated others the way you'd like to be treated? What if everyone did that? What kind of world could there be?

Story Behind The Book
The characters of this book is based on bedtimes stories i told my oldest son, Jared, between the ages of 7 and 10. They made him laugh, and he begged me to tell them all the time. My wife for the past 2 years kept telling me, "You have to make this a book." I finally relented, and now I feel is one of the best things I've written.
