Overview

My Buddy Bali: A Tourist in Kisses and Tears
Bali ran away from his residence in Toronto, Canada, searching for freedom and adventures. He fell into the hands of two young pickpockets whose plan was to steal small valuables in Toronto and resell them in the City of New York. After crossing the border into Buffalo, New York, on the bullet train from Toronto to New York City, a snow blizzard hits, and they get trapped. The rescue services took the passengers to refuges in nearby motels, and then Bali accidentally broke loose. In his run-off, he stumbled into the house of genius scientists. Unbeknownst to him, their experimental device teleported him to the closest parallel dimension, the melodramatic soap opera that the girlfriend of the scientist's son was watching on television. It was a re-run of the award-winning South Korean soap opera:
"Kisses and Tears."

About the Author

Leu Seyer is the pen name of Miguel A. Reyes-Mariano, son of the deceased Civil Engineer Sansón Reyes Castillo and the Literacy Teacher, Cosmetologist, Dressmaker, and Entrepreneur Tomasa Mariano Sosa. At the age of twelve, he wrote a script for theater: "In Duarte's homeland," a piece in three acts in which three block-layers deliberate about migrating to the United States on the seafront called Malecon of Santo Domingo in the capital of Dominican Republic.

He was in the 7th grade at "Colegio Dominicano De La Salle" at the time and still remembers that his teacher, Diomedes Christopher Sánchez, today Dean of the Business School at INTEC University, told him that he writes very subtly. He explained that theater dialogues were less elaborated and suggested writing a novel.

Miguel started that book, "The Hominal Mohin," but never finished it because his father told him that "no one would read it if he didn't use plain language." Moreover, in the school year of 1978-79, for Mr. Manuel Matos' literature class, he wrote a 70-page short story, "The Bus Back Home." A tale of two young high school seniors lost in a bus transfer within the public transportation system of the Dominican Republic in 1978. In the story, they get to know some circumstances and parts of the city that they had never imagined existed.
