The full name is Abraham Firestone
March. My mother, a very religious person and prayer warrior, took the
name Abraham from the Bible. She gave me her maiden name Firestone as my middle
name.
My name Abraham has been a blessing
and a curse, depending on where I happened to be. When I worked in New York, it
was a blessing. In some areas, it was not a plus and I began using only the nickname
Abe, as in Abe Lincoln.
My feet have trodden the earth in more
than 30 countries. I have seen the sun rise over the Persian Gulf and the sun
set in the Canadian Rockies. I sunbathed by the Mediterranean, roasted in
Riyadh and dined in Damascus. I was beggar-beseeched in Baghdad, short-changed
in Saudi Arabia and saw blood shed in Beirut.
I have been called Mister, Monsieur,
Herr, Sayyidi, Kirios, Signor, Sir and other names.
I have eaten with Bedouins and dined
with Royalty. I have also been rich and I have been poor. I like to think that
I have a world view on many subjects and that I have a certain amount of
wisdom. My experiences are reflected in my writing.
At ATTMP, my book, They
Plotted Revenge Against America was inspired by America’s invasion of
Iraq. My book, Journey Into The Past was inspired by my
love of hiking and exploring ancient castles in Germany.
