This is a true story of my life. I dedicate this entertainment chronicle to my late father Seymour and mother Sarah. As in many stories, this one has twists and turns, happiness, sadness, reality, farce, and most importantly the way life really is whether your beliefs or values are moral or not. People will shit on you.I've broken this novel into sections; the beginning a little shot with some humor and the foundations for what my life became and is today. The story progresses into a normal young adult life with a twist and then right into young teen life where my life really began to change. As a young adult I became aware, as many do, of money, fame and sexuality.Adult life raised a whole new adventure to my credo of "wow" I can do this and get away with that? True, but not always the correct methods of getting there, wherever there is. I'll be telling the stories of my experiences in the entertainment industry from 1967 until I left Las Vegas in 1992. Then a renewed life from 1992 until today. One of my motto's: no matter what you do, things really don't change andpeople are the same no matter where or when you associate with them. It is what it is!This is a must read for everyone. Most will either say: I'm making it up or it's too hard to believe one Great Poster could do all that I've done in my life time. As my parents would say, "ENJOY."

It is then that Fain understands the mystery that is Emily Yoder. Above them in the stone-cold blackness that is space, a new star blinks icy white and no longer is the vain Cassiopeia the reigning queen in the starry sky.Yellow Wood is a sensitive and magical love story about a materialistic starry-eyed doctor and an enigmatic Amish woman who has a profound knowledge of the stars and a mysterious alliance with the Lyra constellation.
