Part of the joy of writing the novel “On the Corner” was actually reliving some of my most memorable experiences.People became alive again and I could actually feel their presence. I relived the joys and pains of the journey and at times the little boy from Delaware Avenue was once again involved in frivolous activities.The fiction parts were easily written because so much of the core had actually been experienced.I ,on so many occasions ,would actually get lost in thought while writing and was transported to places like Westbury,Jersey City and California.Book clubs keep the ride alive, and I look forward to doing as many as possible.
