Author, Military Strategist, Geopolitical-Strategist, Military Advisor, Chinese Imperial Army Lieutenant General. Home schooled in his youth, Homer was taught Chinese folklore, speech, and writing from the family cook while living in Colorado. Later he attended Boulder Central School, and North High School in Denver, and after moving, Los Angeles High School, where he graduated. He then attended Occidental College, and later Stanford University and studied military history and strategy, particularly that of Napoléon Bonaparte. He was an avid reader, debater, fencer, poker, and chess player. He had been accepted to West Point but was dropped due to health reasons. He believed himself to have been reincarnated. He was commissioned in China as a Lieutenant General. He was a close but unofficial advisor to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, during the 1911 Chinese Republican Revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty Emperor Aisin-Gioro-Pu_Yi . Homer wrote three books; "The Vermilion Pencil", (later a successful but now lost 1922 US silent film starring Sessue Hayakawa), "The Day of the Saxon", and "The Valor of Ignorance" in which he predicted the attack on Hawaii and the Philippines by Japan 30 years before it happened. Some say he is a Profit because of this. "The Day of the Saxon" was reportedly required reading for German WWI and WWII officers, and it was said a copy was kept on Vladimir Lenin's desk. He had been plagued all his life with health problems from a humpback, and light sensitive eyes leading to headaches. This however did not stop him from writing and traveling the world when it was not so practical and quick as it is now. He was just a few weeks shy of his 36th birthday when he had a series of strokes leading to his untimely and early death.
