Synopsis

A bold and window-like depiction of the idea of life in the streets of Cleveland, where a small gang of friends follow their desires, unforseeingly, to sudden drastic prosperity, and the demise of their collective just a few weeks into their worst summer vacation ever. This is Lost, to Get High, a tale of wild, teenage youth making the sorts of mistakes that are to be fairly expected from the young of the world in a state of fluctuating chaos, allured by the many temptations that offer the possibility of making life somewhat better. This is a tale of youth directly involved with the lifestyle of drug use, and drug dealing, and robbery, and murder- and many more of the contributing factors that can drive a young soul insane. And also, this is a tale of coming to one's senses. A new arrival to the San Francisco Police Department's Gang Task Force brings with him the right attitude and work ethic to earn celebration from the entire city, but, even more intriguing is the dark secret and menacing affiliation with which he comes as well. This is The Greatest Trick. Sgt. Juda Terro relocates from San Diego and takes the SFPD by storm. Unbeknownst to the people around him is that his job is twice as difficult as it seems. There is a lot of pressure on Terro's conscience to be the person that he wants to be. Or is there? His mission is, has been, and could possibly remain twofold. The trick is being able to pull it off.

These are the first two of three novels he has written thus far.He is currently in progress on a fourth novel, as well as his first screenplay. Probably needless to say, he is indeed a poet.
