I thought you might be interested in an interview about my forthcoming book, “Kennedy’s Coup: A White House Plot, a Saigon Murder, and America’s Descent into Vietnam.” Simon & Schuster will publish it on February 17, 2026. The book is about the Kennedy Administration’s secret encouragement of the 1963 military coup that led to the murder of South Vietnam’s defiantly nationalist president, Ngo Dinh Diem. Diem’s overthrow had disastrous consequences, opening the door to much deeper U.S. involvement in what became one of our most divisive and futile wars.

Greetings,
I am reaching out to share the story of my near-fatal accident, which I have documented in my memoir, Life Flight, which is now available on Amazon. The link is placed below. During my hospitalization, my hemoglobin dropped to 2.4, and I was in a coma for months, with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8. My total hospitalization lasted approximately one year. Survival at that level is extremely rare, and recovery was long and uncertain.

I am an international award winning author. God Help Me is one of 9 other books I have written. I write to help people realize they can live in this world despite many handicaps. I want readers to know that despite life's shortcomings you can shine. I grew up in a very bad household, but I never quit trying. The message in all my books is to never quit. Most of my books are real life people who struggled to exist. I have one fiction called Albion. It is made up of 8 chapters, each a different story.

In the 1970s and 80s, while ABC, NBC, and CBS battled for every screen, a Mexican family, alongside a savvy American operator, quietly laid the foundation for an empire. Against media titans like Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch, they achieved the unthinkable: breaking into the tightly guarded world of U.S. television. Later, after being pushed out by political and corporate interests, they returned through an alliance as improbable as it was strategic—with the former agent of Ronald Reagan, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando.
