Thanks for visiting A Kiss in Times Square.com. This blog is about the tail-end of my long journey to finish my debut novel, A Kiss in Times Square, by the end 2012.
In 1993, just a week before Thanksgiving, a burnt-out Manhattan emergency room doctor, Ray Miller, discovers his wife is just days away from having an affair. Late one night, he is violently attacked in Central Park. The only person who comes to his aid, an old man named Andy, is stabbed several times, just before the mugger makes his escape.
While visiting the good samaritan in the ICU, Ray reveals his secret to Andy, that regrettably, his twelve year marriage is about to end. As the two strangers slowly become friends, Andy shares with Ray his own bittersweet tale of love, betrayal, and redemption during the last days of WWII, in the hopes of convincing the disillusioned doctor that his marriage, as well as dysfunctional family, really are worth saving.
As the two men grow closer, Ray finally discovers the amazing truth behind one of the most iconic photographs of the 20th century: “Sailor Kissing Nurse” in Times Square, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt on V-J Day, the last day of WWII; the same picture that appeared in Life magazine just one week later.
My debut novel, A Kiss in Times Square, is a multi-dimensional love story, and not a traditional romance. I hope when it’s finally done, that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
