Philip Abbondanza
Philip Abbondanza is a college graduate with a BA degree in Anthropology, with minors in Greek and Roman Classics from CUNY Brooklyn College, a retired Certified Respiratory Thera-pist and author of several fiction books, including The Sheepshead Bay Horror, The Roots of Happiness, several science fiction short stories, the sci-fi novella Sea Story, and the three books of The China Trilogy-White Lily, China Sword, and China Storm. He had also been a stringer for the Respiratory Therapy paper Respiratory Advance. He is also a United States Air Force veteran. He served 13 years as a substitute teacher for the Florida Lee County Board of Education and was a senior member of the Dolphin Squadron of the Civilian Air Patrol. What brought him to write what he calls his magnum opus was the interpretation of a dream segment that inspired him to write the story. “I knew I had a book in me someplace, but I didn’t quite know what it would be until I started to write it. I knew that what I dreamt would be part of it. Then, once I started to write, I couldn’t stop; my muse had complete control. It was like my hand had a mind of its own, so I let it write whatever it wanted. My sources were drawn from materials that I had been exposed to all my life, some of them gleaned from stories from my family who served in WWII, some from myriad reading and movies, some from the headlines of the 50s, 60s, and 70s that helped with my second and third book, China Sword and China Storm.

This is my first book and I am 87 years old. It was published in the last month. I have received 50 copies and am beginning to promote the book anyway that I can. My life was quite adventurous- - One room schoolhouse with 8 grades - 13 in my graduating class in High School - Never knew anyone with a college degree except the Pastor and doctor - Graduated from University of Nebraska with an EE degree - Lived in 5 major cities - Started two companies - Had 4 surgeries including prostate cancer - Married for 35 years and had 2 children - In three years in the mid 90’s lost my company with 25 employees that I had built for 21 years (embezzlement and financial malfeasance), had prostate cancer surgery, had an unexpected divorce, and a brief bout with depression - Started another company and worked full time for 20 years beginning in 1997 - Cut back to semi-retired at 80 but by then had become financially comfortable again - Belonged to many churches, sports and political organizations Bet you can guess what the book is about! What I did right and what I should have done had I known. Book is called Encyclopedia of the Abundant Life and it covers 19 chapters of life starting with education and ending with aging. The neat thing about growing old is that you now see how it all turned out.
