The Time of Pedro

In the fifteenth century a band of Jewish and Romany travelers from Poland contrives to wend its way through the Holy Roman Empire to Spain without getting beaten, robbed, raped, forced into servitude, or killed.

The manuscript of The Time of Pedro sat on Joe Cohen's desk for 34 years before this final revision. He is a lifetime resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, with interruptions for military service and peripatetic travels. Along with publishing seven novels, he has worked a variety of jobs, including news reporter, teamster, and teacher.
