He has traveled the world over beginning when he was in his late teens and continuing to this day. He lived in Honolulu for several years before moving to San Diego in the early seventies. He resides several months a year in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where he does most of his writing. While living in Cabo he encountered a local resident who told him about a cocaine deal that went bad.

This is especially true of the computer programs that are used to transfer funds to the various parties to the drug deal. However, the programming has a glitch, which creates problems and leads to the final ending of the novel.
