About the Author Richard Brumer grew up in the Bronx, New York. He was a practicing pharmacist, a Clinical Instructor of Pharmacy Practice as well as an academic mentor and life coach for many years. However, he still made time for his passions--sailing, skiing, auto racing, music, and reading. He is now a published author. He has sailed in The Florida Keys, the South Pacific, and skied down the mountains of France, Italy and Switzerland. He has traveled extensively and backpacked his way through Europe, India and other parts of Asia with his wife Carol. They both loved the outdoors and presently live in Florida. He has published several novels: THE CHEMIST'S SHOP has been a number one best selling novel on Amazon Kindle. It tells the story of a Holocaust survivor who meets the Nazi officer who is responsible for murdering his family. He seeks revenge and it begins with a game of chess with the Nazi as the unwilling pawn. MEETING MAX is a novel that takes place in India and is partially based on a true story about an American man's search for his son who was given up for adoption at birth. It includes a love story adventure, terrorism, romance, and a bit of fantasy all of which takes place in the colorful landscape and rich culture of India. THE LAST SUNRISE is one of Mr. Brumer's most popular books. It's about An aging man is nearing the end of his days and he wants to have one last adventure at sea. He purchases a thirty-foot sailboat named Noelle and takes her on his great journey. What follows is a thought-provoking trip inward as we discover what drives this man, and we learn that he could be anyone—even the reader. Jane, a woman in her mid-eighties, sells him Noelle with everything on board. Below deck he finds reflections of Noelle’s past—tattered sailing charts with routes highlighted by Jane and her husband, items collecting dust that make him wonder about their journeys. The Book of Seamanship teaches him the basics of sailing, preparing him for his trip. He makes the needed repairs and plans his next step. After talking with Jane, he discovers she and her husband had planned to sail to Tonga, a dream unfulfilled. A carefully folded pristine chart remains on board, with not a single line drawn to the remote islands of Tonga, a 2500-mile journey. Now he knows where he must take Noelle. And so begins the journey of a dying man, a man who is preparing to sail away and never return. He thinks of Kathryn, his late wife, and reminisces about the past. He faces storms and becalmed seas and sleeps under the stars. Upon reaching Tonga, he makes a new friend, Lepa, who guides him in his travels through the local islands. The Last Sunrise follows a man’s love affair with nature as it challenges him during his voyage of self-discovery. Humbled by the ocean, alone with his thoughts, he is drawn into utter peacefulness—his last passage home. LOVE AND DECEPTION is an anthology of short stories and a novella. Do you remember your first love? What feelings or memories resonate when you think about that time? In A TASTE OF LOVE, a couple in their seventies reflects on the lost love they shared when they were young. Is it too late for them to begin again? NUMBER 23 is the story of a man trapped in a neurotic, sex-soaked marriage. He compulsively flies off to Thailand where he finds true love…but a shocking discovery may change everything. In THE OTHER WOMAN, the mysterious death of a novelist’s wife brings a man’s relationship with the woman of his dreams into question in this fast-paced tale of suspense. AGAINST THE ODDS, a novella, is a story of love, war, and the ultimate deception when the destruction of Israel is imminent, and an impossible gamble becomes the only option. Will the heroic action of two Air Force officers overcome the daunting obstacles…or will their Black Ops mission end in disaster? GELT WITHOUT GUILT is an example of Mr. Brumer's sense of humor. One reviewer says: “I loved this book. Richard Brumer, who is the author of beautifully written novels such as The Chemist's Shop, Meeting Max, The Last Sunrise and Love and Deception, has changed course with this hysterical romp about two elderly gentlemen who discover a new way to get rich by inventing a new religion. Jack and David believe there has to be more to life than sitting on the beach and watching pretty girls while lamenting their lost youth. Can having more money buy them happiness? Original and hugely funny.”
