Thanks for your honest feedback. I'm sorry it fell flat for you. Yes, it was written by a poor old man from a different country, so the language is intentional. It's historical fiction because it's based on my grandfather's life and other relatives along with historical facts. It also could work as a memoir except it's fiction and yeah, he's not a famous person though some may argue he should have been recognized as such. Others have referred to him as an everyday hero, so that's why momentous events in his life were woven into the tapestry of the life of an ordinary man periodically performing extraordinary feats. Perhaps you'd like my journalism better. Feel free to Google me to read the articles that interest you over my 40-year career as a published writer. Working on second book loosely based on my father's life, working title A Mighty Arm. He was a blacksmith who started in our suburban garage on Long Island, an engineer who taught Apollo mission astronauts before they walked on the moon, and my Dad. Another everyday hero. Stay tuned for that. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
