Favored with a brilliant mind, Plácido falls victim to an uncontrollable inner voice. Obsessive Compulsion opens days before Plácido's birth, his parents having escaped from a Tijuana prison. It becomes evident at a very young age that the boy is exceptionally gifted but unfortunate to be born into a dysfunctional family. When he is three and a half, Miss Amanda Brown, with Child Protective Services of California, enters into Plácido's life and ultimately assumes the role of friend and mentor. It is she and his paternal grandfather, Dr. Fernando Barrera, who become his guide and compass along a treacherous road. Graduating valedictorian from high school at age thirteen puts Plácido on a roller coaster ride in educational adventures that ultimately leads to a bridge to nowhere. Plácido's arduous journey takes him from San Diego to New York City and back to California via Lackland Air Force Base. Plácido and his encounters will make you both laugh and cry as he confronts a world often shattered by the impact of an obsessive compulsion.

Autorenporträt
I was born in Germany during turbulent times and ventured to the New World where I've spent most of my adult life. My work and educational adventures have taken me from merchandising/retailing, the teaching of German and World Literature, to an academic career in Audiology, and the challenges of working with hard-of-hearing and deaf children and adults. Among my favorite academic subjects to teach were offerings in sign language. In 1981, I discovered the magic of painting in transparent watercolors and have never stopped painting. Moving to sunny Arizona from the High Country of Colorado in 2003, caused a major shift in my subject matter, changing from a primarily realistic orientation to one of total abstraction. Since my retirement from Academia, I've pursued my passions for travel, art, music, and the enjoyment of writing. The Merchant of Texas is my thirteenth novel brought to publication in the last eight years.
