Happy
79th Birthday to my father, Philip Ochieng!
As
most of you know, God saw fit to give me three fathers besides Himself. The
other patriarchs are Johnny Dorn and John Simpkins (RIP). All of them have shaped the
person that I am in countless beneficial ways.
Of course, Philip and I look alike, but it was remarkable to find out how much I have inherited from him without benefit of his interpersonal influence.

My
father is a professional writer who puts forth two columns per week; ditto for
me – though I am far less accomplished than he is.
We
both speak German.
We
have both published books; both of us have done some editing work. And check
out the color scheme of our covers!
I picked my book cover's color scheme -- illustrated by Chris Muir of Day by Day Cartoon fame -- because Albuquerque is the plot's location. (Chris's offerings are not always Safe for Work, which is the only reason I'm not linking to him in this post; my family would not understand.) Still, the similarity, taken together with the others, freaked us both out.
