I am a semi-retired Singer/Entertainer. My literary works have included songwriting, essays, radio scripts and television documentaries. The idea and the theme of this novel, “How Long Is The Day,” came to me upon awakening one morning. Novels being a totally new concept, I dabbled for several years, while fervently studying the classics and contemporaries . Our characters achievement in overcoming a tragic and debilitating early life through spiritual enlightenment is somewhat auto biographic. After a decade of pondering and indecision, the story took on a life of its own and begged to be written. Reviews I have received have made the effort has been well worth it.
