It has been a long time coming but welcome to what I consider to be a very very special place. It is here that I shall randomly be adding, posting or otherwise alternating sample chapters from a manuscript I have been working on for the past several years. As I am now actively promoting Rebel Without A Clue, the decision to add selected portions or chapters to my online art gallery site was a given. All text viewed in this section has been copyrighted. I am stressing this point with the hope that it shall alleviate any and all questions or concerns regarding the illegal use, copying or theft of any portion of this manuscript. GRAPHIC LANGUAGE ALERT Silly as this is to me, I think I'm obligated to alert you that some profanity does exist within the text. If you are offended by the use of any such written word or words, you may want to stop here and go mix a martini or something. There is an age old Yugoslavian proverb which perhaps best sums up the one fundmental law presiding over mankind's journey through this difficult, and often times hostile, world in which we live. It is simple and to the point. "Tell the truth and run". Obviously, the faster a person can run, the more up-front and honest they can be. This is the basic foundation upon which Rebel Without A Clue was created. My main purpose in writing Rebel Without A Clue was to create a thought provoking and entertaining self-help book about life and the human spirit. One which reinforces our innate ability to embrace and overcome and even laugh at the personal hurdles and hardships which persist from birth through death. Hopefully, you will enjoy reading these stories as much as I treasure sharing them. It is, in essence, my life story,...which is rather like standing naked in public. Nonetheless, here I stand with my pants around my ankles. Yet, in by doing so, it is my sincerest hope that the words inspire a greater appreciation for this amazing thing we call "life" and give credence to our God given gift to dream, aspire and achieve.
