STROLOK

"WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR RACE WAS TARGETED FOR EXTINCTION?"

This is the story of a planet named “Strolok”. The inhabitants of this planet are far advance in literature, culture and education. The scope of the planet includes lush vegetation, beautiful, futuristic buildings, and scientific advancements that would challenge your hunger for knowledge. These are a peaceful people who whenever called upon to assist another planet’s population, never shy away from lending a helping hand.

Unfortunately the time for Strolok to request assistance has arrived in the form of a future threat by a warrior faction known as the Traguul. The members of this race are despicable and care not for the well being of others. When they inhabit a planet they decimate its natural resources until there is little left to support and feed their race. As soon as their planet reaches almost critical levels, they search for a new planet to take over where they can begin their life process all over again. If the chosen planet is inhabited then they develop a virus to unleash on the unsuspecting people, which cause their internal organs to fuse, leading to death by suffocation.

With the leaders of Strolok having been alerted to this potential destruction, they send an emissary to Earth in the form of a young boy to live amongst the population and gain the assistance of their people in developing an antidote to the virus. Beware of the Traguul.

The adventure that unfolds is one that amazes the Earth team that is assembled and creates a link for life with the gracious people of Strolok.

About The Author:

From the time I was 6yrs old and my mother took me to the theatre to see “The 7^th Voyage of Sinbad” in 1958 I have been drawn to and intrigued by all that is unusual.  Sci-Fi, Horror, Paranormal, Monsters, Vampires, Werewolves, etc….

As I progressed through life I was taken aback by the sheer genius of the work of Ray Harryhausen. He was the master of the moveable monsters like the Cyclops in the movie referenced above. Later my interests latched onto 50’s Sci-Fi black and white movies where I ran into the original “The Day The Earth Stood Still.”

Whenever I watched a show or movie or read a book I literally saw myself entrenched in the story. I felt what the characters felt, saw what they say and experienced what they experience. It was the attraction to that which put a tiny thought into my mind to write a story. The draw became strongest when I was in high school and from there the creative juices began to flow along with the thought of writing my own stories which gave me a feeling unlike any I had experienced before.

Jump ahead to February 2008 when I found myself unemployed and out of excuses to write my first book. I started it then and finished it around Thanksgiving of that year. I am currently editing my book and have also done some early writing for a second book unrelated to the first one. I am enjoying this process so much that I really can’t see myself doing anything else with my professional life.

My books are probably geared to late teens up to senior citizens.  Nothing would make me happier than to see my books made into successful movies.

For a brief time I was a ventriloquist, which led me to Magic. As a matter of fact, while my friends were working as cashiers in retail stores, I was performing for adults and children as my way of earning income while in high school.

Although there are about a bazillion movies I love, my two favorites of all time are “A Clockwork Orange” and the original “The Day the Earth Stood Still”.
