** NEW RELEASE**: Mr. Macular Degenerate (Book of Humorous True Blind Stories)
"Wall of Fog: Struggle With Blindness" is a true story about Macular Degeneration...and how to cope with it.
At the age of 50, I developed Macular Degeneration. Within six weeks, my eyes hemorrhaged and I became legally blind. Laser surgery did not help. I experienced traumatic behavorial changes. I was motivated to write "Wall of Fog" because I am a survivor. I believe that my personal experience of becoming blind or severally visually impaired will help someone gain insight in their own particular way. The emphasis of this book is Macular Degeneration. "Wall of Fog: Struggle with Blindness" is in Large Print or is also available on Cassette.
