About
delivers stunning prose perfect for the times. The settings, both personal and universal, are not only tangible in the imagination, but they invite the reader in to experience stories from the heart.
The twelve-story, linked collection, COMETS, follows through-line protagonist, Roberto, as he grows from a working teenager influenced by the men in his father's cabinet shop, to a disillusioned 42, unwittingly trying to fill his father's shoes, while searching for a deeper understanding of himself and his life. Set in Ybor City, Tampa's Latin Quarter, the stories capture a microcosm of blue collar problems, with implications that go beyond racial, economic and cultural boundaries, illuminating a greater understanding of the human experiences we all share, while loss of childhood resonates as an overarching theme.
