Spending Tuesdays with my grandfather doing errands. We lived with my grandparents in a two-family house in the Bronx. He owned a Delicatessen restaurant which was closed on Tuesdays. I would go with him to run his errands then he would take me to the restaurant and make us lunch then we would go for ice cream.

Being a circus performer. LOL

I was an avid reader as a child and a teenager and still am. I like a good mystery, a spy thriller, a historical novel or a combo of all three.

I am a proponent of conventional publishing. A writer needs the support in marketing and editing it provides. it takes a village, you know.

I have known many such people and their strength and positivity blow me away. I want their stories out there for others to benefit from.

Because the back story is based in fact and happened in the DR. And I live in Washington Heights. KNow what you write.

My uncle's escape from Nazi Europe and his experiences living in the Dominican Republic as a refugee at that time.

The protagonist, Kurt Berlin, was stationed in Manila when he was recruited by the OSS. It's based on true events.

I read, I write. I watch baseball. Yankees!!

Figure out who your readers are and where they look for information on new books. Then establish connections with those sources to promote your book.

How my book(s) have changed the way a reader views the world, or their perception of history.

There isn't any kryptonite. What inspires me is a good story that others will relate to.

I'm working on a novel based on a true story of two brothers during the Cuban Revolution. One is a communist, the other is not and becomes a refugee. It's titled, Incident at San Miguel.
