The Coin of the Realm (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692310663)

After a stint in the Merchant Marine at age sixteen, and several forays into college, New York City-born Roger Dubin worked on and off for a decade as a guitarist and songwriter. Between gigs he wrote news copy and advertising copy, which led to an award-winning career as a marketing executive and consultant in the cruise and travel industries, principally in San Francisco, Hawaii, and New York. An overwhelming mystical experience in 2005 brought about his conversion from Judaism to Catholicism. He now lives in northern Arizona with his wife Barbara; The Coin of the Realm is his first novel.
