Don Stefano Magaddino murdered his way from the sleepy Sicilian village of Castellammare del Golfo to the mean streets of Brooklyn before heading to Western New York and seizing control of the notorious Buffalo mob. They called him The Undertaker, for the fortress-like funeral parlor he ran in nearby Niagara Falls, and by the end of Prohibition he ruled a criminal empire that stretched from Toronto to Youngstown, Ohio. Based on interviews with both underworld and law enforcement sources, and packed with never before seen photographs, Mob Boss is certain to take its place among the classics of Mafia literature!

"Fame Whore" tells the story of Tom Heaton, a drunken New York newspaperman, and Angie Roscelli, the fading Hollywood glamor girl he's fallen madlessly in love with. Angie, who is also being stalked by a Starbucks barista and Iraq War vet suffering from PTSD, must decide whether to send Tom back to the wife he left for her or live with the imperfect man who swept her off her feet. Set among the glitter and glitz of Manhattan, L.A. and Merida, Mexico, "Fame Whore" is a gripping, hard-hitting and provocative look at the commodification of celebrity in the second decade of 21st Century America.
