Midnight to Infinity the Humor and History of a Mischievous Artist

This book runs a gamut from the escapades of an adventurous young ‘scamp’ to the final story of the roots of his family, 1812 roots that barely survived Napoleon’s murderous invasion of Russia through Lithuania when the few shocked and bloodied serf survivors managed to flee into the forests to live on as little as tree bark.
In between you will find an eclectic collection of all things written. You may cry, laugh, and experience every emotion between the two. You will find poems, narratives and stories both intellectually stimulating and wildly hilarious. You will adventure with the author in the Lomonosov, St. Petersburg area of Russia, work with him through his thirty one years as a firefighter, experiencing the depths of tragedy in the loss of a comrade and the heart wrenching losses of young children. You will battle black darkness and icy cold in an attempt to rescue a child lost in deep woods.
You will visit with a specter from the past, live in the innocence, fears and poignant heart of a young boy, ride the waves of total nonsense and hilarity in a poem wherein the unfortunate hero mis-adventures across the continents, even below them and up through the very stars. And you will find peace and deep introspection of your own life.
