Book Description:

Well, here I go again. All alone except for this suitcase of mine. I’m headed for a new place with new people. Not so bad considering it’s 1944. Lots of guys are in my shoes. We’re in the middle of World War II. Still not so bad. I’m a fireman in the Army Air Corps whatever they’re calling themselves these days. Once again, not bad at all. But I was born in 1963. There’s the bad part.

I was not born with the name Ray Lafayette, but that’s what they call me. I didn’t have kids or smoke a pipe. Hell, I didn’t even like coffee. I do now.

I was born into a different life than this, one with a lot of attachments. Now I carry my life in one bag. One really important bag.

In this time, people call me pal or buddy or sir, good lord they call me sir all the time.

I have friends in this time, and they are the best but do they know me like they think they do? Simply put, NO! Would they die for me? Every bit as much as I would die for them.

To say these folks are tough or strong is an understatement. Superhumans? I don’t think so. They were ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. I didn’t have heroes before this. I didn’t understand them until now.

Since this event has started, I have experienced many things I can’t explain. There is only one other person who has any knowledge of my situation, and I can’t find him. The last words from him were vos non unum, you are not alone.

There was a time I missed all the things that made my life easier as I thought. Here I have no cell phone, no internet, no rock music, no almost anything. As bad as that sounds, I’m not sure if I want to leave here.

Writing and Publishing

Two, I have only written two books so far. I have 3 others in the works. One is a comedy, the second is a no-nonsense approach to RV’s and the third is the continuation of the Ray Lafayette series. All different and all need to be written and read.

The first book I ever wrote was called He was. This book was tough to get started. Since I had never written anything I simply thought it was a cool suitcase full of what I thought were treasures.

There was really no treasure, at least nothing you could sell for millions or anything like that. There was, however, something no amount of money could buy. The hand drawn sketches, the old photos, the books and even the pipes had created a man in my mind. The man was and is still called Ray Lafayette.

All of these old faded things don’t mean much to most people, but for some reason I can still connect with everything I touch from this old suitcase.

I have been asked why I wrote these books in the first person. It’s because I start writing and that is just how things come out. Was I there? No, there is nothing to prove that. Do these things bring back memories of those days? I haven’t figured that one out yet.

I’m not the same as Ray, he is far tougher and stronger than I could ever be. Everybody from that time is/was that way. I have tried to find people in my life that are like Rizzo and Harley from the first book and can come close but no one is a match. Ian in book two is larger than any life I know today but it would be some kind of fun to meet someone like him.

There are some of the others that I’m not so sure I want to meet but I have opened my mind to attempt to see the world through their eyes. I have met some wound up Henrys, some mean old Nurse Hellhounds that were actually very kind people and even some Smokey’s that still need a bath.

If none of this makes sense then one should be able to understand what I went through. The Ray Lafayette series can explain it all.
