Story Behind The Book
Didn't you ever listen to the news or read about the oil prices going up and down and felt helpless to do anything about it? Did you ever wonder if there were any other way out of this oil situation that not only fuels our energy needs but also is the backdrop for the politics between nations as everyone struggles for resources? One night I dreamed up a design for free energy and six months later began writing Reach For The Sky. Halfway through I read about Nikola Tesla and realized that he already had a design that was ridiculed back in the 1930s even though he proved the concept. I decided then to incorporate briefly the incident in my story where my protagonist Mike Miller discovers Tesla's lost notebooks. There must be a reason why this never saw the light of day. My novel explores those reasons with explosive conclusions and a story that is non stop entertaining.
