About the Book

Disaffections of Time is a fictional account of a modern wizard-like savant. The charismatic old man utilizes special powers of connecting seemingly unrelated trivia to discern meaningful solutions from his operational base--a coffee shop booth. His reputation enhances a local following. His encounters include a battered housewife, an illegal immigrant with a birth defect, a minority brick mason whose wife is dying, and a hapless bookie pursued by an organized crime syndicate. These encounters lead to dramatic and sometimes humorous interchanges. The major narrative is a compelling tale of romance involving young lovers separated by fate. Their story weaves throughout the novel to be meticulously resolved by the savant. Eventually, the elderly sage must travel forward in time. His exit intrigues. Disaffections of Time incorporates modern science, exotic sites, humorous exchanges, and mystical powers within a vividly descriptive literary flow. Romantic settings entice the reader and elevate the alluring sequences with intellectual discourse. The characters, locations, and events were developed from many of the author's wide personal experiences. Though this is his initial novel, the author has written seven previous books.
