About meAs you read this review, I encourage all who may judge harsh to understand my efforts are self supporting. In addition, my financial reach is limited for obvious reasons. Please consider a purchased copy.

Cincinnati, OH, December 2009: Available for immediate purchase through Amazon.com, with National Distribution, a lifelong story of trial and error throughout a family’s life is accounted in a newly released Memoir based on a true story.

This newly edited release of Norma Jean's Sun will certainly exceed expectations. The story is not only convincingly true, but will rivet the reader with its genuine and unassuming pathos. Norma Jean's Sun is painfully reflective yet ultimately hopeful, a story told through the eyes of a boy who believes he has been mistakenly born into the world and a man who has conquered physical and emotional injustice--and come out ahead. The reader will be challenged to answer the difficult questions of right and wrong and apply those answers to his or her own life. It is clear that it is the hope of this author that the reader's conclusions will lead to a more fulfilled view of the "parallel beauty that lives just beneath the surface for us all."

It is my hope that you will read to understand and perhaps find a message of humility and kindness. I share this journey with complete raw disclosure from my soul, not to gain fame. As noted, I hope I have helped.

As an artist and author, the content of this Memoir is filled with a range of color descriptions that follow the life of my family through times of prosperity and despair.

Described from a generation before to current, this author has scratched out a story from pain into a work of art. An artist in both paint and words, this true story captures the essence of a tragic life and the beauty that lies beneath the surface. His words paint a picture of a hardship and a suffering that only few could imagine. This emotional story is an abstraction of language that parallels a life that just will not give up. Norma Jean's Sun is a story about differences and the tragedies that life presents a person who is visibly different from the rest.

Norma, my mother, is determined to fill her life with energy and hope for a better tomorrow through the struggles associated with growing up. Her love, compassion and embracing smile captures the spotlight of all who witness. Inside this Novel, you will ask yourself a host of questions that are difficult to understand. It is the hope of this author, your view allows your own life to gain a deeper understanding. Be sure to check back often for updated content and images. My artistic expressions are drawn from personal experiences and memories that are reflected in this literature.
