Norma Jean's Sun Memoir ( Based on a True Story ) "A Wonderful commentary on the very things that make us all human""Brave honesty of confession, makes the book unique""Touching story, full of hope"The story is not only convincingly true, but will rivet the reader with its genuine and unassuming pathos. It is this kind of brave honesty of confession and growing philosophy that makes the book unique.Miraculous tale of how a boy, born into unimaginable physical and emotional pain and destined to be a misfit, finds his way in a world of "others." Few could survive so many torturous years of surgical intervention and a ensuing lifelong struggle with drugs and alcohol addiction and come out ahead. This moving tale reveals not only the struggle and heartrending elements of generational lives "gone wrong," but also the love and growth of a human being overcoming the odds and determined to find a way to live life to the fullest. Based on a true story, the author's unapologetic prose prompts enduring ethical questions and makes a gripping, personal read.Norma Jean's Sun is painfully reflective yet ultimately hopeful, a story told through the eyes of a boy who believes he has been mistakenly born into the world and a man who conquers physical and emotional injustice--and thrives. The reader will be challenged to answer the difficult questions of right and wrong as they may apply to his or her own life. It is clear that it is the hope of this author that the reader's conclusions will lead to a more fulfilled view of the "parallel beauty that lives just beneath the surface for us all."

"SHE STARTED OUT WITH LESS THAN ANY GIRL I EVER KNEW" So recalled Hollywood modeling agent Emmeline Snively of her client Norma Jeane Dougherty at the age of 19. "But she worked the hardest. She wanted to learn. She wanted to BE SOMEBODY more than anybody I ever saw before in my life." And she became Marilyn Monroe. That is, in the eyes of all but a select few insiders who like Miss Snively saw that the greatest sex symbol of all time was a pure fabrication. An exquisitely crafted act. A dazzling illusion who disappeared as soon as the makeup came off at night. Through those insiders' eyes CASTING NORMA JEANE now recaptures the late summer of 1946 as a restless model and starlet described as "pretty but plain" steps into a role that will make her the most photographed, most talked about, and most written about woman of the 20th century.

Think I would never have met Dawn, had it not been for that blessed fl ashy footwear... The year is 2035 when these events are told by one who lived through them, a computer fashion-graphics expert and inventor of a three-way game revolutionizing chess. This is fi rst and foremost the story of a portentous encounter - marvelous and ominous - of a man in the prime of his life, with an enigmatic young lady, hence united to live a growing passion. - It is the tale of a story within the story, in which Dawn is treating her young audience to a new Wonderland episode entitled Alice's Journey Through the Sea of Time. - It is also the story of a consequential natural catastrophe, and the premeditated explosion of a passenger plane, complicating their lives. - It is the story of sunny days and the couple's osmosis giving life to Amber. - And it is fi nally the story of childhood happiness sombered by Amber's disappearance, and perilous years of futile, although CIA-assisted, global quest to retrieve the child taken from them by a deranged female reemerging from Dawn's past and befalling the couple unawares. - Both women outlived 'A Thousand Fathoms Under the Skin', the preceding erotic-suspense novel by the same author. In spite of the story's uncouth and breathtaking conclusion, it leaves the reader with a feeling of interminate suspense...
