Some guy from Paterson, New Jersey named Paul captures the real New Jersey in books, stories, and words! Here it is! The original, cult classic that began a nostalgic revolution and first introduced the characters of Harry M. Redmond Jr. and his faithful friend, Paul John Henson to the world. The Time Bomb in The Cupboard, and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul is the first book in the adventure series and it is a compilation of three stories, which detail the special friendship of two boyhood friends growing up in the 1970s in and around Paterson in northern New Jersey. In the year 2009, the author took a part-time job writing music reviews for a progressive rock website, and that gig caused the writing bug to bite the author once more. He recalled old stories, written when he was only sixteen years of age and submitted by a high school teacher to a publication for young writers and to the author’s astonishment, they were published and he received a royalty check for fifty dollars! After some digging around in a dusty box, the author found the original manuscripts, and he dusted them off. Those stories became the nucleus for the anthology now known as The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul. This book contains the original versions of the three classic stories, with minimum editing and processing in order to capture the genuine spirit and authentic style of how the author wrote them originally. The Time Bomb in The Cupboard is a story nestled within the Christmas season. When the fun-loving and jovial Ronnie “Ronzo” Boatmann concocts an extra powerful version of his famous holiday moonshine and the Redmond family, friends, and the old neighborhood assault Christmas Tree Mountain for their yearly “cutting down the Christmas tree” adventure, then the fun begins. During the quest for perfect Christmas trees, Ronzo uncorks his volatile mixture and the old neighborhood might never be the same! Harry’s Resort perfectly captures the essence of the old neighborhood and the amazing variety of people and personalities that live in old American urban cities. When the legendary Mr. Redmond replaces his old aboveground swimming pool in his city lot backyard, the decision creates a resort haven within the gritty urban neighborhood. What happens to the new pool becomes a hilarious romp through a very special time with some very special people. The Eye of the Tiger is authentic storytelling. When the bombastic, woman-crazy, teenage Harry M. Redmond Junior is caught two-timing his steady girlfriend, Harry whips up a wild plan to win her love back. He sucks his conservative best friend Paul John Henson into the mix and into the plans, as Harry enters a roller-skating marathon to raise money for charity and to impress his true love. What begins as a plan to regain her love slowly evolves into something very special, and what happens next is emotional, profound, and truly unforgettable.

The book overflows with nostalgic views back into time, spoofs that poke fun at the 1970s, as well as New Jersey life. The stories depict not only hilarious, unusual and outlandish situations, but the stories and characters will warm your heart and touch your soul. Grab your copy today!
