What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Coincidence, you say??
Actually, I never wanted to become an author; it was thrust upon me by circumstances and all the pain and deaths caused by the aftermath of Vietnam. Unfortunately, the very best I could do, almost a half-century after the war, was to write an account of our betrayal and describe our exposures to the toxic pesticides and abhorrent conditions of the Vietnam War as best as I could. All in the sincere effort to correct the present so that what occurred in Vietnam will never happen again to new generations of military personnel, their families and their children and quite possibly their grandchildren’s children.
