Note to readers:

The excerpts provided here are meant to entice your interest. Reader reviews of “A Culpable Innocence” (cf. Amazon.com) indicate that there is a well of interest there yet to be fathomed. Now that “A Life Apart” and “In Search of Fate” have been published, they too will become available to public scrutiny. In truth, no author writes in a vacuum, unmindful of imaginary readers looking over his/her shoulder. Writing is actually a collective act. The writing comes from that inner space we all share and, if expressed authentically, demands to be in the public domain. My hope is that something in my personal vision will resonate with readers. To believe otherwise would be to relegate any authenticity to mere solipsism.
