Todd Freund, after serving in Korea with the U.S. Army, started out as a shoe salesman after his discharge and eventually reached the executive level. But he always retained the dream of someday publishing his own thriller. That seemed to become possible at the 60th Anniversary Reunion of his St. Mary’s High School graduating class. There he joined with his fellow octogenarian, Frederick Von Burg, an Indie author and publisher. Frederick did not immediately take to Todd’s idea of a thriller, but eventually he could see the possibility for a literary novel. He started out in the spring of the following year, but everything was put on hold when he was sent to St. Francis Hospital for a pacemaker and quadruple by-pass surgery. He recovered nicely, a heartening outcome for a man who had spent forty-one years of his life teaching English to Long Island, NY teenagers.
