Publishing Date of My Latest Book
This is my second novel, and is scheduled for publication on November 15, 2007. A story about how reality and fantasy meet in the life of a 10-year-old adopted boy. You can purchase the novel, once available, at Amazon.com.
[Alan’s] writing is pertinent, original, and prescient. I believe the quality speaks for itself. Thus rather than go into a detailed description and analysis of his talent, you would probably be better served by reading some of his published work, and decide for yourself.

author of the novel Fool’s Gold (St. Martins),
