Death of a Past Life: Three generations face the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century—the turmoil of the Russian revolution, the vicious arbitrariness of Stalin’s purges, mass famine during the siege of Leningrad, the bombing of Berlin during the Nazi’s final days—and relentlessly fight to insure the survival of their family. Robert Reincke bases this historical, creative non-fiction novel on the reminiscences of family members that allows us to glimpse at stories never before told.

A former evangelical Christian comes to terms with his gayness by becoming an international male fashion model in the early/mid 90's. Robert has a seemingly ideal life, a secure job, a string of pretty girlfriends, and a condo in a SoCal beach town. Conflict between this outward success and his inner turmoil prompts him at 29 to run away to Europe. Set during a slip from sobriety that eventually becomes an eight year fall, "Falling Of the Catwalk" recounts a year and a half of global debauchery, sex with girls and boys, and absinth trips in Tokyo.
Robert uses extensive journals, videos and pictures to recreate the exact events.
