About me

Born in Puerto Rico and migrated to Philadelphia at 8 years of age. Vietnam War Veteran. After an honorable discharge, I opened my own business. Sold the business and entered Law Enforcement – 5 years with the Philadelphia Police Department and then 25 years as a Deputy Sheriff. Retired as a sergeant. Wrote articles for local papers and online news services.

Went to college in my 60s and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in 2 years instead of the usual 4. 

First published book was Historical Fiction: In the Beginning – The Early Days of Religious Beliefs.

Second book effort is The Lazarus Syndrome – Why Can’t I Die. Non-fiction dealing with a little-known medical event where patients declared dead, revive minutes, hours, or days later. The book also covers NDEs – Near-Death Experiences and OBEs – Out-of-Body Experiences.

The book includes a personal memoir covering the Vietnam War, Business experience, Law Enforcement Career, and personal experience with the Lazarus Syndrome.

En el vasto y complejo panorama de la religión y la espiritualidad, existe un enigma que ha despertado la curiosidad y el debate de generaciones enteras: ¿cuál es el origen de las creencias religiosas? En medio de esta interrogante apasionante, nos sumergimos en las páginas de “En el Principio: El Origen de Religión”, una obra de ficción histórica escrita por el talentoso autor Jaime Reyes.
Este libro no ficcional representa una profunda exploración de una condición que durante mucho tiempo pasó desapercibida, pero que hoy demanda la atención que merece.
Jaime Reyes has had many changes in his career. He was born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, several decades ago. After reading hundreds of books, he used CLEP (College Level Examination Program) and other similar programs to take electives and earn his degree in just two years. He continued to write articles and short stories. The short story version of In the Beginning received good reviews and he decided to turn it into a novel. An incentive for the story and book was a genealogical study that determined that his varied ancestral lineage includes three percent Neanderthal DNA.

In the Beginning: The Early Days of Religious Beliefs

In the Beginning – The Early Days of Religious Beliefs

Early protohumans like Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon buried their dead and cared for the old, their sick and injured. In order to understand the unexplainable or to establish answers to questions such as, “Where does the sun come from and where does it go? What brings rain?” they turned to mysticism or imagined invisible beings. It is safe to assume that they experienced some form of primitive spiritual awareness. It is also not hard to believe that someone had to become the first priest, shaman, spirit guide, or witch doctor to realize the benefit of organizing and exploiting their primitive beliefs. This is the story of such a person.

En El Principio: Los Primeros Días de las Creencias Religiosas (Spanish Edition)

Los primeros protohumanos, como los neandertales y los cromañones, enterraban a sus muertos y cuidaban de los ancianos, los enfermos y los heridos. Para comprender lo inexplicable o encontrar respuestas a preguntas como: “¿De dónde viene el sol y adónde va? ¿Qué trae la lluvia?”, recurrieron al misticismo o imaginaron seres invisibles.

Es razonable suponer que experimentaron alguna forma de conciencia espiritual primitiva. Tampoco es difícil creer que alguien tuvo que convertirse en el primer sacerdote, chamán, guía espiritual o curandero para descubrir los beneficios de organizar y aprovechar sus creencias primitivas.

The Lazarus Syndrome: Why Can't I Die?

I was born in Puerto Rico and emigrated to Philadelphia when I was 8 years old. The transition was difficult at first. Different weather, living conditions, different language and worst of all, the widespread racism. I survived and, in time, overcame the obstacles. Learning a new language for a child is fairly easy, especially after my mother had taught me how to read as a toddler and inspired me to continue in English.

I planned to attend college but was drafted soon after High School and ended up in Vietnam. After discharge, I opened my own business and but eventually sold it to pursue a career in law enforcement. I began with the Philadelphia Police Department but after five years, transferred to the Office of the Sheriff where I served for 25 years.

El Síndrome de Lázaro: ¿Por Qué No Puedo Morir? (Spanish Edition)

El Síndrome de Lázaro es un libro de no ficción que detalla un evento médico poco conocido que ha ocurrido a personas durante siglos, pero que no llamó mucho la atención hasta hace unos años. Ocurre cuando un paciente es declarado muerto por un profesional médico, pero revive espontáneamente minutos, horas o incluso días después.

El libro presenta las historias de casos de otras personas. Es un evento que yo mismo he experimentado, pero del que rara vez he hablado con alguien, excepto con familiares y amigos cercanos. La diferencia entre mi experiencia y la de la mayoría de las demás personas es que yo lo he experimentado en numerosas ocasiones, mientras que la mayoría solo lo ha experimentado una o dos veces.

El Síndrome de Lázaro: ¿Por qué no puedo morir? colección de reanimaciones, avivamientos, Una memoria la guerra de Vietnam (Spanish Edition)

El Síndrome de Lázaro es una obra no-ficcion que se trata de una condición que por mucho tiempo no fue reportada. Ahora es una ocurrencia que debidamente merece mas atención. El término describe a personas que sufren un evento traumático, desde un nacimiento muerto hasta una lesión, un ataque cardíaco o un derrame cerebral y son declarados oficialmente muertos por un profesional médico pero experimentan una reanimación espontánea, minutos, horas o incluso días después de ser pronunciado.

Este evento fue más frecuente en años pasados, cuando los médicos se apresuraban a declarar la muerte cuando el corazón se detenía. Hoy en día, la muerte cerebral es más precisa, pero incluso eso ha engañado a algunos médicos. He citado numerosos ejemplos de quienes han regresado después de iniciar el viaje al más allá, sea lo que sea o dondequiera que esté.
