That novel led to two sequels, "Slum Song: Disaster in the Wind" and "Slum Fever: To America and Back," successfully creating "The Slum Trilogy." He also wrote, "Stories of Passion: Five Petals of a Potpourri," and has recently finished another full-length novel, "Summer of Truth: The Price of Happiness."
