justice finally served

Late in 2010, the chapter in Euclid Avenue Our scars mean something, entitled Water, which depicts the drowning incident, became the focus of a cold case homicide investigation. That investigation is ongoing and far reaching. Since Euclid Avenue is the 1st in a series of 3 true life novels, the hate mail has already begun. 2011 is the 50th anniversary of the little boy's death.

unsolved murder

i am the author of Euclid Avenue Our scars mean something. it is the 1st in a series of 3 true life novels that depict my 53 years on this earth. the first book, stated above, covers my life from age 4 to 24. it is at that age when i discovered my 18 mo old baby brother, a special needs child, floating face down in the bathtub. the culprit is still alive, the matter was never fully addressed and justice remains unfulfilled.
the balance of the book depicts a childhood of parental neglect, deceit, theft and manipulation. full time employment began at age 12. the teenage years were characterized by experimentation to habits to addictions that culminated in a wager that resulted in a loveless marriage that ended in divorce and nearly in death. an outrageous conversation resulted in an eternal decision that produced a life led less than perfectly.
excerpts are on facebook-r keith rytaran and the book itself is available on amazon, barnes & noble, books & co, books-a-million, borders and others
