O knihe

I am a 73 year old man. I spent 20 years in the US Navy, 14 years in Military Sealift Command and 6 years in the Seafarer's Union. I have traveled and spent time all over the world, and have been to the places in my book. I entered the Navy in 1965 at the age of 17, quitting school after the 10th grade. After boot camp, I was sent to Sasebo, Japan for two years. Serving on both the east and west coast I never looked back, retiring from the Navy in 1993. Since I was 16 years old I had the desire to write, encouraged by my grandmother Martha Crute, who was the Librarian in Rocky Point School, which I attended. While I was still in the Navy in 1989, I wrote my first novel Pitfall which went unpublished. Later I spent 10 years writing my first published work, Guidebook of How to Obtain Pureness of Heart to Enter Heaven. I wanted to rewrite Pitfall which was from 1956-1986. Instead I incorporated Pitfall as the second part of my novel, Legacy of Crime 1908-1986.When I think of my great American novel, this is it. From a train robbery in Nevada, which netted $200,000 in gold, to a mafia Don Named Joe Scarlotti, from Augusta, Sicily, who ran one of the five families. Lucinda "Barr" Barritonia silent film star from Hollywood who married him, moving to a Glen Cove, Long Island mansion. Bobby Barritoni is a Navy Water Tender from Rocky Point. Long Island who saved the lives of many of his shipmates after a kamikaze attack off Okinawa. Marie is a world class Ballerina, granddaughter of Don Crutini head of a rival mob. The offspring of this bunch set up the second part, which involves a falling out, of a 5 million dollar robbery of dirty money and the vengeful aftermath, with hitmen, car chases, kidnappings, and gang wars.
