The author prefers to publish under a pseudonym, because he lived many of the experiences he writes about. He started this series of books as a young man serving in the military. While crossing the ocean on a troop transport, he heard some fantastic but true stories and vowed he would someday write a book. A very active and demanding law career followed. In retirement, he had time to imagine how life might end for The Last Methuselah in modern times. This lifetime saga is told in four books.
