Chalk It Up

The novel Chalk It Up is a sensationally oriented, zany story about a teacher's incredible journey. It is the voice of Nick D'Angelis about his unusual adventures, challenges and frustrations. It is everyone's story who has ever been a student, a teacher, about the joys and conflicts of marriage, family, divorce and life after divorce. It depicts the bureaucratic insanity that makes most teachers want to run and escape. There are humorous flash back anecdotes about the Marine Corps. Overall, it touches every emotion, with Nick insisting on living creatively, sensuously, dynamically and spiritually, which ironically creates one calamity after another.
