title: Disguising Sam, Finding Picasso: The Rollins Chronicles
author: Dennis Dale
description: Dennis Dale was born in a small town in Massachusetts and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area at the age of four. Having earned a degree in Sociology at California State University, the Bay Area became the perfect backdrop to meet colorful people and lifelong friends shaping rich stories crying out to be told. In college and in his career, writing has remained a favorite pass time, where he's honed his skills and used them as a vehicle of expression in various newsletters, short stories and company literature. When several friends suddenly passed away, he was inspired to write his first full length novel, Disguising Sam/Finding Picasso to preserve the essence of their spirits captured in several of the main characters. Though steadily employed in Telecom, he enjoys writing every chance he gets and is also an avid sketch artist. He and his partner are active members of several gay organizations in Florida, where they now reside.

  prospector hoping for that one rich strike that will make him wealthy-Ramon is
  content only when on his own out in the bush, far from the dirty, loud,
  bustling hive of humanity that he detests with sociopathic fervor. Then one
  night his rage and too much alcohol get the better of him, re
