He is also the author of King David (Xlibris, 2003) and King David and his Concubine, a play in verse which was first produced in Los Angeles in 2005, with the noted actor, Ed Asner playing the aged King David. Mr. Simmons is also the author of Contemporary Urban Haiku, and several of his sonnets have been published in national magazines including Moment and Bible Review.
Mr. Simmons was born in Los Angeles in 1928 and served as a naval officer during the Korean War, and is a graduate of UCLA and the UCLA School of Law, where he served on the Law Review. In his professional life, Mr. Simmons is a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning and Taxation and has written extensively and lectured nationwide on his area of specialization.
This novel "Translation" was inspired, Mr. Simmons said, by what is a troubling conundrum in Bible Studies: "How did The Book of Exodus, which some scholars consider a literary if not actually an historical masterpiece, come to be written as the world has known it for over two thousand years?"
Mr. Simmons says, "I turn to writing fiction, poetry and plays to escape an uninspiring life of only working with the fine print and loopholes in the law, with which I have helped my client accumulate and retain their great wealth."ver menos
