What's Behind the Words?

<p>So you are looking at the back cover. I thank you for that. It is the first step for me selling you a book.</p><p><br></p><p>I have my work cut out for me as I am an unknown writer who has published 3 novels and a book and other than selling friends and family and about 500 people I do not know I have not been very successful. I am told by people who read my books that they enjoy what they have read. </p><p><br></p><p>What's Behind the Words is a novel mixed with my life stories and poems that coincide with the story just told. Here is a synopsis of what the book is about.</p><p><br></p><p>Born in the Bronx on August 16 1948 the book fast forwards to 1957. I had no clue that a world outside of the Bronx existed. I had yet to see a live cow I had never been anywhere other than Orchard beach with my three brothers and mom and dad. I see my years in the Bronx as fun years and I write of the humor as my eyes display my growing up. But it is my life recorded in 30 journals that the book is about.</p><p><br></p><p>Running away from the Bronx at age 12 with a Bronx tough kid attitude and a seventh-grade education my life as follows is spending 4 years in a traveling carnival and living as a gypsy and learning the lifestyle and the con games that come with the experience. My first wife dies and I end up raising my 2 year old baby boy.</p><p><br></p><p>Married the third of five marriages and living with a girl other than my wife we rob a bank and get caught and sent to prison for forty years. It turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I married my fourth wife while I am doing time.</p><p><br></p><p>I must end this as a back cover as it can only be so long. I survive prison with my degree from high school and an AA college degree and learning the most valuable lesson in life... the value of freedom.</p><p><br></p><p>I marry for the fifth time and 41 years and five kids later I am writing this most unorganized back cover.</p><p><br></p><p>The book is full of humor learning poetry of life and just a fun read. Thanks.</p>
