Fountain of Youth

Three lifelong friends grew up together, went to school together, went through college and medical school together and now they all work at the same hospital in San Francisco.

These three developed a special enzyme meant to clear plaque from a person's arteries without causing any harm to the body. Early trials have proven to be a great success, sending a red flag to a pharmaceutical company closely associated with their hospital.

A mysterious representative from the pharma company, a man known only as Mr. Grey wants to own or control this new formula because if it goes mainstream it would cost all Big Pharma companies billions of dollars in revenue for drugs people will cease to need. Mr. Grey will do anything to make the three friends see things his way. Anything means literally anything.

With the help of friends, the doctors plan to move to Texas and complete their research with Mr. Grey and his thugs hot on their trail.

I was born in a small farm town in northeastern Colorado named Haxtun. My father died of a heart attack when I was eight years old and shortly after, my mom and I moved to a suburb of Denver called Wheatridge. After a time we moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where I finished school. My brother was transferred from the Gulf facility in Okinawa, a prefecture of Japan to the facility in Port Arthur, Texas in 1972. In 1975 my mother and I moved to Port Arthur to get our family back together for the first time since my dad's passing. My brother helped me get a job at the refinery and that job turned into a career.

In 2008 I had a quadruple heart bypass surgery. That experience, coupled with my father's death at age 44 from a heart attack, inspired me to write my book.
