An Ironic Twist of Fate When Peace-Loving Man on a Spiritual Journey Is
Imprisoned by Militants

PARIS, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- It is a tragic quirk of fate when a
peace-loving young man searching for a universal religion ends up instead
being imprisoned by radical Muslims and fearing for his life. This is exactly
the scenario Frank Romano faced thirty years ago and is the inspiration for
Storm Over Morocco (World Audience Publishers, NYC), an enthralling account of
this terrifying period in his life.

Romano had traveled to Casablanca as a young man on a spiritual quest and had
been invited to study Islam in a mosque. He realized too late that what he
mistook for peace-loving people on a similar mission ultimately turned out to
be militant Muslims. Storm Over Morocco depicts in detail his traumatic ordeal
and draws a frightening picture of the suspense that built up during his
attempts to escape the ten-foot-high compound. What began as a peaceful search
for God turned into a desperate struggle to survive when he was wrongly
accused of being a Zionist spy.

After his escape, Romano uses his personal experiences as a means of
organizing interfaith events with varied religions that included
fundamentalist Muslims, Jews, and Christians in Israel and Palestine. Never
losing sight of his spiritual path, he continues to nurture his dream of
helping to find a peaceful solution to religious conflicts.

The 3rd Edition of the book was published in March 2009 and it includes two
new chapters, including one that discusses a recent intense meeting with
militant Palestinians in a West Bank refugee camp. Many people have expressed
interest about his present interfaith activities during author events and
media interviews, which inspired the 3rd Edition.

He has just returned from the West Bank where he organized and participated in
two Interfaith Peace Marches in Hebron in August 2009. (See blog:

photos)

He is considered an expert on the conflict in the Middle East, notably in the
West Bank, Gaza and Israel. His publisher has also recently published his book
of poems entitled Crossing Over. Romano is a PhD in Law, Sorbonne University
and teaches at the University of Paris. He is a member of the California and
Marseille Bars and practices law in California and France.

He will be available for interviews. See following schedule: USA: Dec. 12-Jan.
5, Feb. 27-Mar. 11. PARIS: Oct. 5-Dec. 12, Jan. 5-Feb. 26.
