Topic: The Daddy Rock
Date: December 20, 2012
Time: 1500 Pacific
Michael J. Kannengieser is “a
retired New York City police officer who lives on Long Island, in New York with
his wife and two children. Michael worked as the Managing Editor for Fiction at
The View from Here Magazine; a U.K. based literary publication. Currently, he
is employed at a performing arts college as an Instructional Technology
Administrator. He has been published at The View from Here, and in Newsday, a
Long Island newspaper. Michael speaks as a guest lecturer on campus.” Michael J. Kannengieser is the author of The
Daddy Rock.
According to the book description
of The Daddy Rock, “Roger Price is a retired NYPD officer battling depression
after his wife and young daughter are killed by a drunk driver. He is contacted
by a woman who claims that he is the father of her twenty-two year old
daughter, Bonnie, who has leukemia and needs his bone marrow to survive. When
Bonnie is diagnosed with leukemia, neither Claire, Brad, nor their other
children are a match for Bonnie which stirs Claire's suspicion that Roger is
actually her biological father. After learning about Bonnie and the possibility
that he is her father, and that she is gravely ill, he vows to help her.
Roger's bone marrow is a match, and DNA proves he is her father. Bonnie then
undergoes dangerous "conditioning" with radiation prior to receiving
Roger's tissue donation. At the same time, Roger's best friend, Danny, also a
retired NYPD detective, is pursued by gang members that he arrested while he
was a rookie. They served their sentences and are seeking revenge.”
