The book UnterReich took fifteen years to come to print. Two of the men portrayed in this novel are a composite of different eras of my life in the sense that the spiritual, mental, and emotional events have been characterized in a completely fictional environment. Set in a time line out of step with my own. The Vinnilians is the first of a Trilogy. A novel as well as a walk through of a family tree covering the history of the Longobards. It is hoped that you will find by books, both entertaining, insightful, and even eduiational.
