TIMELY ARTICLE: 1960S REBELLIONS: THE DARK UNDERBELLY

WHEN FLOWER POWER ERUPTS INTO FIRE POWER

In the novel City of Redemption


It wasn't all groovy love, great music, wild dancing - 
there was a dark underbelly of the time I lived.

Someone sent me an article from the 
Mercury News, California they found while 
searching the internet about my novel about my second novel, City of Redemption.
 
Curiously there's been a surge of interest recently in this story 
with people asking how was it in the sixties with all the social 
and political upheavals?  The same happening today, right?

  yes, it is did. 

With what is going on presently only the now it's even bigger 
and more violent, with the rebellions around the world, standing 
up to the dominate regimes. The youth of today being heard, taking 
action, protests, and all.


I'm really glad the article linking City of Redemption to those interested in a culture, time 
and place story - San Francisco - to many throughout the world. Cool, far out, groovy....

City of Redemption is about free love, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, lies, betrayal and murder 
during a most memorable time and  place  The Summer of Love.  


You probably thought it was all peace man, get high - there was a 
lot of that and....well, the article will cover it.

Having lived in San Francisco - yes I was a Flower Power Child 
with an edge, being more of a City chick to the peace and flower 
youth that came to San Francisco - ah the memories of all the 
great happenings like the free concerts at Golden Gate Park:  
the whole shabang.

Black Panthers on the scene, LSD awakening and expanding the mind. Sadly, for some, 
destroying minds.

It was a crazy time for sure! - Janis Joplin lived in my neighborhood, zooming around 
in her psychedelic Porsche. The same neighborhood the story takes place which is
known now to many as The Castro. 

And the fashion! Love them colorful bellbottoms

I've seen fashion in 2019 resembling that era. Haven't you?


Read more about the book and me.  

Article link  Mercury News, California. 

Certainly with the world's cultural, social beliefs and political fights 
this crazy time of great upheaval?
