Event Details

CHARLIE ROBBINS, an affable everyman, is well liked by both men and women but has never been able to cross the finish line leading to success. He has drifted on a sea of mediocrity powered only by the fickle winds of fate. Then his life changes as he approaches middle age and he is afforded a serendipitous opportunity to assist his Assistant District Attorney best friend plan and entrap New York’s Public Enemy Number One and a corrupt District Attorney.

This accidental success skyrockets him to a degree of acclaim and fame that others have used as a steppingstone to reach new heights in business, celebrity, or any pursuit they made their goal. But is Charlie capable, motivated and driven enough to follow in their footsteps? Is it ever too late to grow up, to come of age?

Can Charlie successfully lead his private investigator company in its meteoric rise while at the same time learning the true meaning of love and identifying his soul mate? Can he repair his damaged relationship with his teenaged daughter? Is Charlie destined to find a life of contentment? Peace? Success? Happiness?

Charlie Robbins’ first person POV narrative allows one to delve into the mind of a man and the opportunity to study how it works…or doesn’t. Readers will find themselves rooting for Charlie, but will he make them proud or disappoint them?

Dr. Garrelick was born in the Bronx, NY and relocated to Norwalk, CT in late 1966 with his beloved wife Pauline and son Gary. 
Son Robert joined the family shortly thereafter. 
Garrelick practiced Orthodontics in Westport, CT for 50 years.

Following the loss of his wife and his retirement, Garrelick felt a need to reinvent himself and spurred on by some poetry and short story groups and his fellow students, he wrote and is self-publishing the first novel of a trilogy, CHARLIE’S WORLD, 1980, to be launched Oct. 28th. 
He hopes to be recognized as the Grandfather Moses of Literature.

A light lunch will be provided.
