The "Old" Adventures Of
Hailey and Jared
Description :
Hailey and her best friend Jared have gone on several exciting adventures. Originally separate short stories, I have put six of their fun but spooky stories together for this book. Each story has suspenseful adventures that always end with a twist!
Even though Hailey is a girl, you'd have to call her a tomboy as she loves adventures with her best friend Jared and has no problem getting in and out of spooky situations! She, Jared and her beloved bike Blue manage to keep their lives pretty exciting and sometimes they are not sure whether it's ghosts or just their imagination. You'll just have to decide which one it ends up being!
Bio provided by the author.
Born in Iowa, I grew up reading the Nancy Drew Mysteries. As a
teen I did a rough draft of a short story but it wasn't until a few
years ago that I finally took my time to sit down and re-write it, and
then had it published as an e-short story called Old Jacob. I now have
several short stories and one book with the first 6 stories which is
called The "Old Adventures of Hailey and Jared". These stories were
written with my grandchildren in mind and are based on some adventures
from my childhood. I did write one story for adults "Dying to Write" as
once I start a story it's hard to stop and it occurred to me that I
could do a story about it. I have sold a few and of course would love to
sell a bunch more but the feeling of accomplishment when I finished a
story is satisfying enough.

Stand-up Guy
Description:
Stories of sex, drugs and violence are told by a guy who did it all –
except rat on his friends. Nostalgic, blunt, touching and brutal, it’s a
fast-paced journey into and out of the days and nights of a street
level gangster. From jacking the pumps at the local Texaco to
disappearing owing the mob money, this is a true story of twenty years
on the streets of Brooklyn and Long Island selling drinks, women and
drugs along the way.
The story is a fast drive that starts with
recruitment by Tommy Toupee and speeds straight into the dark nights and
early morning hours of hardcore gangster life. Experience what it was
like to break a knee-cap, hustle a chick, hide out in Florida and wash
prison laundry while trippin’ on acid. Twenty years on the streets with a
guy who could never be made but dedicated himself nonetheless to being
the best there was to be whether it was tending bar, selling women or
dealing cocaine. Never giving up anybody, taking the heat and doing the
time until a taste for coke and the need for money drove him to the edge
and he had to disappear. Now all this former tough-guy gangster wants
is to be make things right back home. It’s Long Island and Brooklyn at
their seediest best compelling you into the alleys and apartments where
it all went down. Grab yourself a Petrocelli suit, bolt down a ham steak
at the Cadillac Diner and hang on for a quick hit of adventure New York
City gangster style.
Bio provided by the author:
I grew up in Monterey, California, a small beach town, and it never
occured to me that one day I might meet and tell the story of a former
mob-connected gangster straight off the streets of Brooklyn, New York.
But that's exactly what happened.
