ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I grew up in a hard working neighborhood in Boston called Dorchester with mostly Irish, Italians and Polish Catholics. It's the same area that Mark Walhberg grew up. I went to Catholic school and played in the Little League. I had a wonderful family and a playful, but mischievous childhood, which carried over into adulthood.
At the age of 40 I went to prison for 3 years on a drug charge where I did most of my writing. In 1994 I moved to Naples, Florida and operated Ship Shape Window Cleaning for 10 years. I took some time off to enjoy the simple life; love, sunsets, woods, house projects, visiting family and memories.
