55 years later an aristocratic young artist, Melissa, is on a mission to save the homeless. She discovers that an old man named Charlie has information on a 15-year-old girl that died on the streets. After an explosive beginning, Melissa finally convinces Charlie to come forward and bring justice to the man that killed the girl he loved.

Completely intrigued by this intelligent homeless man, Melissa’s personal life begins to crumble. Her obsession impels her into the peril of an abandoned complex where Charlie flees after testifying. There she encourages him to hide out in the safety of her apartment. As Charlie’s life-story unravels before Melissa, she is driven to the brink of despair by the futility of her ambition. The power structure will never allow the life-saving gifts of creative geniuses to enter their tightly controlled world.

In this thought-provoking social novel about loss and awakening a story unfolds with vibrant imagery and ideology that shows how the atom first became the ultimate tool of destruction instead of the definitive power of medicine and longevity.

Praise for On The Fringes

I just read your first book and loved it!
The cover doesn’t give justice to your work though, it makes it look like a kinda thriller involving secret services and massive destruction, Ludlum-like, fast-paced and pro-America... But your story goes far beyond that, and I appreciated the spiritual aspects of it too.

Thanks and I hope to read you again soon,

Well I finished the book...and I loved it! I especially enjoyed all the philosophy of the last few chapters. It was an amazing book! The detail describing the paintings and feelings of people were incredible...so insightful and touched me deeply in a way I can't describe. I am in awe of how feelings and emotions were portrayed in the book, I really felt connected to the characters. I've encouraged a few of my friends here to read the book too, so now it in circulation around the staff here.
