RISE AND FALL OF A MAFIA - PART 2

by King Hambone

Overview

SERIES SYNOPSIS. RISE AND FALL OF A MAFIA

This is a single story, three-book serial novel taken from true events, not necessarily related, as recorded in law enforcement files. In its development, the complexity of this story became convoluted. Several subplots had to be interwoven. These include: two passionate romantic stories where one is rocked by a what appears to be a tragic ending but ends in indescribable happiness and the second by a passionate beginning but ends in heartbreaking divorce; a mystery of captivating circumstances that affect family relationships forever; a fascinating friendship bond between two women that endures and endears through tragedy after tragedy, romance after romance, and despite an event that almost ends several lives. At the conclusion, lives have been forever changed, friendships survive, and love endures, although disappointments remain. This is what makes fictional life, real life.

PART 2. RISE AND FALL OF A MAFIA

About the Author

KING HAMBONE is a nickname bestowed upon the author, Augustus Hammond Green, Jr. by his engineering peers during a 50+ years career as a radar engineer. The nickname has been trademarked for authorship and book related services and registration is pending. Since my true name is Augustus Hammond Green, Jr., my peers usually called me Hammond. But one day, a close friend began calling me Hambone and it stuck. Others started prefacing it with King because of my first name, equating it to Caesar Augustus I suppose. Consequently, I have now taken advantage of the name and am using it as the author’s name for my writings, hoping it will be easy to remember as well as eye-catching. My real name is not exactly easy to remember.

Many published articles have appeared in technical journals and several patents have been granted. While not new to writing, technical writing is far different from creative writing. Having retired, I am now embarking on a creative writing career. My genres and subgenres include mystery, suspense, thrillers, crime and romance. I believe any good story should include a good romance or two, for without love, does life have any meaning? I might even try writing a few children's stories later, like the made-up ones I used to tell my daughter and grandson. There is nothing like bringing pleasure to a child.

As a father, I used to love telling stories to my daughter. She would rather me makeup stories rather than just read from a book. When she grew up and married, she had a son. He, too, preferred that I makeup stories rather than read from a book. So here I am, still making up and telling stories.

My favorite hobbies are Model Railroading, telling made-up stories to children, and reading. My English teacher in high school introduced me to Creative Writing and now I have decided, although late in life, to try my hand at writing stories for which she inspired me to do.

I have a passion for doggies; they can teach so much about love. They are devoted, never judge, and are so forgiving. Kinda similar to creative writing in that good writing, in my humble opinion, always involves love. Dog stories are among my favorites. My all-time favorite story is "LAD, A DOG" by Albert Payson Terhune.

So you see, I do love to read! Perhaps even more than write!!
