About the author

As an author, Maurice published a screenplay named Amos and Red Deer and entered it in several contests. He wrote his first book The Underground Taxi, which will soon be published by Gotham Books. He was married for 26 years raising three children, all who are now adults. As a child Maurice used to play with toys making up stories as he played along. He later drew comic books making up storylines and characters. When in high school his classroom was given an assignment of writing a play as a project. He jumped at the opportunity and wrote a play named Trapped in a corner.  The teacher loved it and gave him three a’s.  He printed copies and had the play performed in class. Born into a Jamaican family, hard work was always stressed in the household, and writing was just something to do as a hobby. He wrote so many stories that a friend advised him that he should publish them.  He heeded his advice and published his first screenplay, Amos and Red Deer.  He is about to publish The Underground Taxi, Three Spades and a Joker, Straight in the Army, and the Reluctant informer. He is now residing in Boca Raton with his pet dog Ralphie.
