Lemons on a Plate (an alter-ego speaks)

The poverty-stricken vagabond Barron Desulfer, addicted to drugs and alcohol and once a professor and renowned writer, decides to turn his life around. By chance, he meets up with an ex military Colonel, Ken, who is looking for someone to write his autobiography; this opportunity becomes the only hope that the desperate Barron needs to bring him up from the poorness in which he lives. Barron, suffering from progressive memory loss, has kept a daily journal for over thirty years. 

He begins interviewing the Colonel. As the month’s pass and the project moves forward, Barron stumbles onto a diary that belongs to the Colonel. What he finds in it will forever change the path in which he is on; hope will be stripped away. Or will it?

The quagmire of a story with four reflections from four different books at the same time can only be complicated more with the presence of an alter-ego as the voice of the book. Lemons on a plate…(an alter-ego speaks), the first volume of the series, will challenge the reader and emotionally capture the soul.

Pat Black is a ghostwriter that has written for some of the top novelists in the world. He has lived this part of his life underground, in the absence of fame. He has been summoned by those very writers to come out of the shadows and this is the first of the series for “LEMONS ON A PLATE…”
