After enjoying a long career as a professional pianist, I am now semi-retired. Always
a voracious and omnivorous reader, I've spent the past decade pursuing a life dream by
reinventing myself as a novelist. Under the pen name "P.D. Quaver," I completed a nine
volume series of historical novels. Entitled "The Ordeals of Elly Robin," they recount the
adventures of a young musical prodigy, orphaned by the Great San Francisco Earthquake

specimens of obscure flora and fauna from various exotic locales.

A tear…moreHorror isn't really my thing. But here's vaguely-remembered true story--one that can
be succinctly told--that has always filled me with horror:
A tearful teenage girl, in some tropical Asian country, tenderly places the basket
containing her new-born babe beside the gate of a rich family's mansion, hoping its

out of the gate without noticing the shrubbery-shrouded basket, and it is the ants that
discover it.
