Released on November 10, 2025, my eighth and final book, "Surviving the Sixties, Somehow." It's a 32-story trip of humorous, serious and historical short stories that takes you through each year of the transformative and chaotic Sixties, showing you what it was like to have grown up then. I was there. And somehow, some way, I survived.
