This novel was written to introduce the story of the first American to register a patent in every country.   The year was 1916 with 95 countries in all.  Several of these nations were the first to issue a patent to anyone.

The real inventor's documents were stowed in bins in a residential garage.  The story was cloaked in family secrecy for 7 decades.

Oil historians in Europe noted this man's peculiar brilliance for devising the processes he did, but his story had never been told.

THE MAGIC EYE was written while research for detailed information about the actual inventor was in progress.  Information from his family was a starting point.  Facts had to be drawn from many sources before the real history could be written.

The period in which this novel's action takes place is an era we often associate with old movies.

Characters were developed with personalities distinct to the 1920's.  It was a brash age when people tried many things and spoke their minds in a witty manner.

Daily journals from the inventor's family showed their actions and reactions.  It was clear how they fit with other people in those times, but also evident was how much their Papa's work set them apart.

Few families lived a life as connected to the kind of international mystery that this family lived.  By the dawn of World War II, many secrets of this explosive era had vanished.  This man's wife and daughter decided to save their story.  That is how this novel came to life.

THE MAGIC EYE portrays good and evil where colorful characters are locked in intense conflict.  From news articles about the inventor and numerous other documents, we learn of his involvement with early petroleum, shale, world governments and secret societies.

This novel showcases 1920's intrigue where inventors, entrepreneurs and governments raced to develop new ideas.

Once an oil company paid the inventor a million dollars for two patents, his path to adventure was sealed.
