Fragments of My Life

About the Book

Take a handsome, blue-eyed 16-year-old kid living on his own, drop him in the heart of a busy city that never sleeps, let 30 years go by and see what happens. Step into the time machine, back to 1973, the end of innocence, before the age of email, voicemail and cell phones. Follow his life, his loves and his many encounters of sexual explorations and merriment over three decades of mixing with weekend millionaires, night crawlers, rock 'n' rollers, and daring, attractive women.

This is a narrative where you can read between the lines. It tells of fragments of my life which took place in Toronto, where I was born. The story maps my life to song quotes of the day. It tells my experiences of being a non-conventional person living in a conventional world. It describes my discovery of the female psyche and how it never changes, regardless of age.

I have led a very interesting life. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

About the Author

At 46 years young, I started to reflect on where and how this all started in my life. I remember back in August 1973, while everyone else was thinking about their careers, all I could think about was having a lifetime dedicated to sex like the author of My Secret Life, a book about a Victorian Londoner?s sexual escapades over 50 years.

I was apprenticing to be an upholstering material cutter. I was all of 16 years old just about to turn 17 and the sound of upholsterers? sewing machines whistling and singing about weekend vacations let me know it was too soon for me to die. I mean why should I be caring about a half an inch for sewing? I was a young tiger in a cage and it was a matter of time before I found my escape and escape I did!
