“The Storm”
The Storm is a novel about four intriguing lives and a cast of characters entwined
in their stories. The Storm encompasses Paris during The French Revolution
leading to the 20th century and covering Rome’s opera scenes, and Hollywood’s film studios in their Golden Era.
Marie Savoie, reborn in the 20th century, a reincarnation of Princess Marie Louise Lamballe. She was First Lady in Waiting to Marie Antoinette and first to be executed in the French Revolution because she refused to abandon the King and Queen. Reincarnated in Paris she would go on to become the foremost leading actress in France in the 1950’s.
Tristan Taylor, Americas sensitive, soft spoken heart throb. A Broadway star who went on to stardom using “bel canto” opera technique as well as pop. His destiny was falling in love with Marie Savoie, the kind of wild, stormy and passionate love only a few ever share in life.
Jean Delacroix, by far the wealthiest man in France. His ancestry going back to Napoleon Bonaparte who gave his family the sole rights to produce all military weapons. He was egotistical, sadistic, and took anything in life he desired by coercion or force. Upon meeting Marie-Savoie he fell hopelessly in love and would do anything in his power to claim her, to own her, body and soul.
Vanessa Daniels, Hollywood’s most beautiful and famous actress of the 1950’s. She was born with the gift of seeing into the future. She seduced a teenage Tristan and was his first love, a love that turned to eternal friendship and admiration.

IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH!
In 1994 the principals of Columbia Pictures contacted me through a mutual friend and asked me if I could write a screenplay based on Robert Lacey’s biography of Grace Kelly. I set aside six months to accomplish the project.
My writing career which has always been a great joy throughout my life started when I received a call from Paul Keys in March of 1972 to fill in as a part time writer for the for Laugh In, the TV comedy series. I wrote for Laugh In for two years sending the producer not only the tree house skit but much material for my favorite comedian Goldie Hawn.
Reincarnation life after death
Those that believe in reincarnation and have psychic powers know the answer, those that do not or have doubts might want to read my novel, The Storm. Ask yourself have you ever turned a corner in a new city and suddenly are overwhelmed with a feeling “I have been here before.” Have you recognized a stranger who you have met before but find out he or she does not know you. The feeling is one of déjà vu. Most of us at one time or another have experienced this.
My novel is based on incidents that occurred in my own life starting with a near death experience at age seven when I nearly drowned at lake Elsinore in California. As I was underwater memories of my short life passed in front of me. I went through a vortex not water but a passageway with unearthly brilliant colored lights. I was rescued at that point and since that day have seen and experienced extradentary visions. I wish to bring some of these experiences to my reader through my novel the storm.
I first realized there was something very special in my life when in a dream I was walking in the woods after dark and passed a tree and on a branch very low to the ground came upon a black panther. The eyes of the cat met mine and with no sound welcomed me to this planet informing me I was to have a very special life on this plane and when going to sleep at night time could leave my body and travel anywhere on planet earth I chose. That very same night I chose to fly over the ocean. I felt no coldness, only a warm feeling as I glided over the sea. Waking up the next day something inside me warned me not to tell anyone of what had happened. I left my body nearly every night to experience things not imaginable. Some of you will believe I was just dreaming and perhaps that is true.
I can’t remember when I stopped my night flights but believe it was in my teens. Then other powerful experiences came to me including visions of things happening far away from me. One event involved my best friend in high school. His mother had gone to Mexico searching for sea shells as this was her hobby. I saw her clearly in a bus going through the Mexican desert and the bus turned over. She was not hurt and I recall telling my friend what had happened. Of course, he thought me crazy but upon learning that the event did happen his reaction was to avoid me. Losing a good friend, I chose to retreat with my special visions and not tell anyone. That was until at age 16 living with my parents in Pacific Palisades CA. I woke up from my sleep late in the evening having seen a horrendous vision while sleeping; my favorite aunt was struck and killed with a film producer while crossing a street. The car was traveling very fast and struck the couple who skidded a long distance mutilating them horribly. I ran to my parent’s room and informed them only to be severely scolded and sent back to bed. A few hours later the phone rang and the morgue informed my mother of my Aunts death asking her to please come down in the morning to make an official identification. My own parents never talked to me of the instance but my father mostly avoided me for the rest of his life.
Another powerful vision came to me in my mid-twenties when I saw a very beautiful French actress drive her car in Nice France into a metal post on the French highway while on her way to the airport. She had found her boyfriend with another woman and killed herself. I had a powerful feeling after much investigation she had in another life been very close to me. In the newspaper the next day there was an article about her death described as an accident.
There is life after death. We are here on this plane to achieve whatever the creator put us here to do. I have decided to share my own experiences through fiction in my novel, The Storm. Some of the characters are intervened in my own life.
