About the Author

In Percy’s Plunder, actor, schoolteacher, world traveler, history lover and author Fred Ephraim – now a California resident – has brought to fruition from his fertile mind and talented pen a work that is marvelously crafted to appeal to a wide readership. In this, his second book, due for release this fall (November), Ephraim offers a unique tome, complete with compelling characters, surprises and adventures that will jar the most complacent reader and stimulate the most imaginative minds alike. Although many of the characters will at first appear familiar, their behavior and what happens to them by the end of the tale will no doubt be a challenge to old thinking. This is an area in which Ephraim shines. Through his writings he challenges us to think a little differently about issues large and small, making us a bit more culturally aware along the way.
