Following My Heart, a memoir, chronicles a life-journey of self-discovery that encompasses sex, spirituality, psychedelics, political activism and literature. It is an unconventional story of love and hope in difficult times.
The City, my seventh novel, spans nearly fifty years in the lives of Theo Demetrios, his sister ArtD, their parents, lovers and friends from beat era San Francisco to the twenty-first century. The title also alludes to the ancestral home of the Demetrios family.
Both books, published by Persona Press, are now available in bookstores.

Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

the diamonds and gloves the ring embedded in wax the parchment rolled the men ready for departure, the same departure the cat seeks away from its master, the departure of iron and stone, the leaving for mountains unknown, of drums, the beat of the drums, the lock and the loading of guns, and yes, you from nowhere again, standing in half shadow to the right offering a strengh that cannot be denied a sanctuary that never existed.
