About

I believe you will enjoy this book because the author shows a realistic look into the lives of people who are successful and some with shady pasts. The characters rage from successful businessmen, strong businesswomen, and the rich to hustlers from the streets. They are likeable, complex, and funny, yet they are dangerous people who seem to be a magnet to money and power.

The author has been writing for five years, and this is his more powerful book of the two. In his younger, lawless days, he had been a hustler and came into contact with people from all walks of life. He studied and watched these different people and their personalities. But as he grew rich with power and money, he became disenchanted with people trying to use him. He gave up his successful street hustle and began what he called a civilian life and began working at a hospital.

While working, there he ran into a guy who works in the film industry. He had known of his past and found the stories and accounts interesting. He suggested to him that he should consider writing about some of his exploits and that he should take some writing classes. When he first begun the classes, he didn’t understand the focus needed to express his emotions and ideas. His writing style was, at best, raw and a little hard-core for Hollywood standards. But the longer he stayed with it, the more he became in tune with the tone of his writing.

After a year of writing classes and workshops, he began writing his first script about his life growing up as a basketball star who gave it up for the fast money of the streets. He also wrote of his college life and his encounter with his roommate, who would go on to be one of the bass players with one of the greatest bands ever known in the world.

As he grew older, he became a film junky, watching and studying every film released. In society, the bad guy is always thought of as big, mean, tough, and ruthless. In this book, the author paints the star character as someone who is a reformed bad guy who has morals, is funny, is a female magnet but still trying to find himself when it comes to women, and being successful legally. You will quickly be able to relate to the author because he doesn’t fit the profile of the TV bad guys or gangsters. He is a regular person like yourself with real-life experiences and had a shady yet entertaining past. Thank you, and enjoy the book.
