Raising Arizona

Yesterday, my buddy Rob Farber posted a picture from Raising Arizona.

Holly Hunter and Nicholas Coppola. Although you probably know him as Nicholas Cage. In real life, he’s the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola.

The movie instantly triggered a name.

That name being Randall “Tex” Cobb – as he was known to most boxing fans. He was a huge character in the movie.

Randall was a buddy. And he was responsible for putting $28,000 into my pocket.


Cleopatra Murdered takes place in the suburbs of Philadelphia during the Age of Aquarius – halfway between Woodstock and the end of the War in Viet Nam.

Outlaw biker gangs, kidnappings, rapes, and murders. Hippies, peaceniks, and flower children. The era of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.

Cleopatra Murdered is my fictional adaptation of my classic outlaw biker saga Born to Be Wild.

Both available at Amazon – paperback & ebook – click titles for previews.
