Danke JP — it was fiction! But yes, a little bit was based on real life!

Good one. Your pathway through the arts would make an excellent memoir. Cheers, Paul!

Danke, Chuck. Thanks for reading! Writing fiction has been more fun than memoir, but it’s still early!

Excellent read Paul! I worked in HIV/AIDS in the early 90’s in Harrisburg , ran the 1-800 line for the state. Interesting times. Stay well !

Danke Lesley - Thanks for reading! The early '90s were a dark time for HIV/AIDS....I'm sure it was challenging and rewarding work.

Thanks for reading, Greg! I've written the Beatwater book - but have been wrestling with how to share it with the world.
