Author Description

Boston, late '60's. After a 7th grader suffers an unspeakable, traumatic event, exacerbated by the class bully, he transforms into a sullen, insecure, soulless being. Bereft of dignity and the last vestiges of his self-respect, he has a chance encounter with his nemesis some thirty-odd years later. A resolution is coming to a head, and with the aid of his well-meaning yet somewhat hapless bestie, a long-suffering girlfriend and the son of an international superstar, his quest to regain his humanity hangs in the balance. With elements of 'Citizen Kane,' 'A Christmas Carol,' and 'The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight,' this humorous story of second chances, redemption and crummy karaoke bars will have you laughing in your beer, crying out loud and carefully checking out the next pair of kicks you purchase. It's a cautionary tale of what happened before and what can happen again... 'When Black Shoes Turn Red'
