Author Description

ABOUT THE BOOK After publishing Died Twice in 2012, Bernard belatedly realized that he had neglected to include additional multiple life teaching experiences that were "hidden in the crevices of his mind," or in a few instances, purposefully omitted from his life's saga. Now, in 2018, he has determined they should all be added to his original unauthorized autobiographical ramblings... that continue to be quasi articulate. In addition to those twenty or so earlier overlooked memories, he devotes the last chapters of the l' epilogue to his relationship with his French Femme Fatale..., aka The Paris Pistol, or just plain Catherine. Unlike the original Died Twice, l' epilogue is lighter, and "happier," as it is essentially devoid of any additional personal tragedies or ultra sad experiences........just a lot of fun and mystical instances....which he hopes his children, grand children and maybe even some friends will enjoy.... ABOUT THE AUTHOR Bernard, now an octogenarian, professes to be both physically and mentally ( ) fit, and is thoroughly enjoying his current ocean front living where he has resided since selling his vintage North Shore carriage house in 2013. He is delighted to have returned to his roots of seaside Long Beach living, where he spent his teenage summer months from 1945-1957. He is currently serving his second three year term as President of the Aqua Condominium, where he was instrumental in the creation of the seasonal Aqua Beach Club; a unique condominium amenity. He spends his days gainfully unemployed, writing, swimming, exercising, solving (?) cross word puzzles, attending to his condo responsibilities, strolling the new Brazilian mahogany boardwalk, attending his grand children's sporting events, and just trying to stay alive and healthy, which he adamantly claims, at this age, is in itself a full time occupation.
