PHOTO ROMANS is a semi-fictional compilation of my travels across the world accompanied by photos taken in Bali, Peru, Guatamala, Sulawesi, Sumatra, Jamaica, Paris, Thailand, Tibet, New York, California, France and Maine. When asked whether they are all real, I can only answer, "All stories are true, if interesting."

A movie actor friend once explained the pecking order on an actress' wish list.
"In the first hour of a party she works the producers, the next thirty minutes are dedicated to the directors, and finally she'll flirt with leading men, but under no circumstances will be ever go home with a writer. They are bad luck to beauty."
My friend was right and never more so than during a fashion photo trip to Jamaica in January of 1984.
I was the assistant to a famous photographer.
The blonde actress was breaking out of the starlet roles into the bright lights.
LIKE magazine was featuring her on the cover as the money shot.
Over the course of a week in Port Antonio the actress played me like a fool, but in the end I got a good tan, which is never a bad thing for a failed writer in the dead of winter and AN ISLAND BEAUTY is a photo-roman telling my sad tale with words to accompany the images.
All stories are true, if interesting.
