My Year in review ~ 2013!

The new year’s start out with a bang, as I met someone who is playing an big role, my wonderful Agent, Miss. Iris, thru e-mail buying a t-shirt, we hit it off right away and she asked me when I was done with my novel she wanted to see it. All thru January, February, March, April, and May my head was down finishing Omerta Affair. Only took time off to celebrate my birthday in the beauty of the magnificent Sedona, Arizona.

It's was a very hot summer here in Las Vegas NV, over 111% each day. I took a wonderful vacation with my beloved family to the beach, escaping the heat for a few days. On July 20 Omerta Affair was release on paperback on Amazon.com.
In September, I went to the very first Mob-Con ever, with my book. There I met some amazing and interesting people and made friends with them. I have a very wonderful time at mob-con and I am looking forward of going back to it next year. Fall came and I have two book-signing events that went well. Selling a few books and getting my book out into the world.
As I looked back on 2013 I met a lot of people, made friends, have fun times, yes 2013 was a grand year. I'm looking forward to 2014 I see nothing but great things are going to happen.
I wish all my Facebook friends an great and wonderful holiday and an amazing new year, 2014!

An excerpt "OMERTA AFFAIR"
An excerpt of my book "OMERTA AFFAIR"

"You somehow forgot what life is all about, being with Gus all these years. Let me be the one to help you remember the good things in life.
"Tony, you sound like a guy from one of those sappy romance novels," Evelyn said, turning to him once they reached her car.
"Perhaps. I remember a woman I met long ago at a hotel bar. She had this fire in her that I loved. I watched her marry some guy and over the years the fire went out of her. I want to see that fire in her, again."

Vegas Valley Book Festival
Over the weekend I attended the Vegas Valley Book Fair. I couldn't asked for a more beautiful, sunny day for this fair in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas. I was not a vendor this year. Instead, I walked around with my wonderful agent and other authors that my agent also represent. Throughout the day, I've met a representative from Barnes and Noble, PBS, Henderson Library, Clark County Literary Association, The Mob Museum, Books in Braille, the Association for the Blind, and someone from a publishing house!
There was a lot of kids activities, along with poetry readings, writing classes. A Teen area that had young adult authors speaking about writing their books, and steampunk. This fair had everything for anyone.
The Fair had a special guest appearance by no other then the real Elmo from Sesame Street live on stage with Mando. I don't care how old I am, I still love seeing Elmo live on stage.
Over all, the Vegas Valley Book Fair was VERY productive for me and my book "Omerta Affair". If you love books and have family time with your family than the Vegas Valley Book Fair is the perfect place to go. I'm already looking forward to going back next year!

Meeting Frank Cullotta
For my 22nd Birthday, I've decided to go to the newly opened Mob Museum. Little did I know, I was about to meet someone who played a big role of helping me with "Omerta Affair" and this is the story.
A few day's before I went to the Mob Museum, I went on the museum's website to see if some event was going to take place, while I was there I found out that Frank Cullotta would be there signing his book "Cullotta" during the same time as I was going to be there. Now at the time, I didn't know who he was until I Wikipedia his name and found out that the character Frank Marino from one of my favorite movies, Casino, was based on Frank Cullotta. I got excited! I always though it would be very cool to meet a real-life ex-mobster.
When my party arrived at the museum, a family member of mine, told the parking attendant that it was my Birthday. The parking attendant wish me, a Happy Birthday and he let us in to park. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the parking attendant got on his walkie talkie. After we parked the car, the parking attendant approached me and told me to go right in the gift shop because, Frank Cullotta was waiting for me to wish me a Happy Birthday. I couldn't believe my luck or this parking attendant was full of it. To this day, I still don't know.
So we went in, waiting for some friends to show up while we got our tickets. In the gift shop entryway, there was a sign out saying that Frank Cullotta was there signing his book. A friend of mine took a picture of me by the sign.
When I finally walked up to meet Frank. He stood up and shook my hand. Then Frank asked me if I wanted a picture with him, and I said "Sure" so we took one, but some reason it didn't turn out, then we took another one and to my surprise Frank hugged me as the picture was being taken. After that, Frank and I started to talk while the picture was printing. I told him that I'm a writer working on my first book about the Mafia. He was interested he then gave me the photo of us for free since it was my birthday and signed it for me. Afterwards we wished each other good-bye, and I went into the museum with my party. Little did I know, I will be seeing him again.
A few weeks later, I went to a book store and bought Frank's book "Cullotta" and I read it. After I've finished the book, I thought what if he was on Facebook. So I found his Facebook fan page and got up the courage to message him telling him whom I was, and that I've enjoyed his book and meeting him.
A couple of days later, he replied to my message, and that is how our friendship began and through Frank, I met and made a lot of great friends. Thank's to Frank's help "Omerta Affair" was born and turn into a book.

Mob Con 2013
Mob-Con 2013
By Alexandra Forry
A wonderful weekend, Fantastic speakers, a well-planned event for the first time! The Cocktail party was a fun experience. Hats off to Robert George Allen and Frank Cullotta for putting together this wonderful event that will be first of many.
I've chatted with former mobsters Frank Cullotta, Andrew DiDonato, Frank Calabrese Jr., Kenji Gallo, and Tony Montana. But not everyone who I met was a former mobster, the men who tailed organized crime figures, like, Dennis Arnoldy, Dennis N. Griffin, Ronald Fino, Gary Magnesen, Warren Hull and Vito Collucci, Jr. was there as well. It’s not every day you get to see Mobsters, FBI, news reporters and true crime authors in one ballroom talking about the good old days.
Mob-Con 2013 started off with a bang, a V.I.P. cocktail party at the Mob Attraction in the Tropicana hotel, one of my favorite museums, where you get to interact and explore the history of organized crime from the early 1900’s to the end of Tony Spilotro’s rein in Las Vegas. After I toured the attraction, I mingled and rubbed shoulders with some of the speakers to be presented at mob-con. They had a great line up, each had their own story to tell about their connection to the time period.
Over all Mob-con, 2013 was a mega hit, with plans for mob-con 2014. Its wasn’t about glamorizing the mob here in Las Vegas, it was the history about how the Mafia build one of the greatest cities in America and how the FBI and others defeated it.

It's going to be a real blast!

The First Review!!
I got my first review for my book on Amazon!
"This is a lovely, captivating story of a two-generation love affair, one mature, and one budding from the ashes of the first generation. It is rare to find a book that so beautifully portrays a torrid love affair without being pornographic. It also captures the violence of the Mafia's Las Vegas stronghold without capricious brutality."
Thank You to whoever wrote this amazing review!!

Thank You to whoever wrote this amazing review!!

Victor Torino gazed at Adriane Rosenberg, inquisitively. "Don’t you ever wonder if we know the whole story between my dad and your mom?" he asked as they packed up her late father's house. Charlie “Gus” Rosenberg, Adriane’s father, was a top Chicago mobster and the only survivor of a turbulent love triangle that shook the very foundations of the Mafia’s Las Vegas Empire. Much... to their surprise, among her father’s belongings Victor and Adriane discover her mother’s carefully preserved diary dating from the late 1970s and purposely left behind by her father for her to find. Thus begins a harrowing and heartwarming tale of undying love and devotion between Victor’s father, Tony Torino, the Mob Boss and King of Las Vegas and Evelyn Rosenberg, Gus’s wife, a hustler and onetime showgirl. Through the vivid and brilliant use of flashbacks, juxtaposed with current events, we witness Tony and Evelyn’s insatiable love pitted against the violent and unforgiving life and law of the Mafia. As Victor, a forest ranger who wants nothing to do with the Mafia and Adriane, an attorney being pressured to work for the Mafia, read through the diary, old hatreds and new alliances rise leaving us to wonder if history will repeat itself.
Omerta Affair is now available on Amazon.com. Make sure that you get you copy now!

The Birth of Omerta Affair
How
did Omerta Affair come to be?
"It should have been so sweet. Everything was in place. We were given paradise on earth, but we fucked it all up." -Frank Cullotta
Living in Las Vegas, Nevada, I had grown up with all of the stories from family and friends about how the mafia kings and queens were living the high life before greed, envy, destroyed them from within. As I started to dig into my city’s past, I became fascinated with the affair between Tony Spilotro and Geri Rosenthal, and it started me thinking, what if they were star-crossed lovers? How would it turn out?
Tony Spilotro and Geri
Rosenthal: Date unknown
This was all at the back of my mind since I was working on another project at the time. One night I was very bored, so I decided to try my hand at writing a Fanfiction to the 1995 movie Casino--a short story on my interpretation of the Nicky and Ginger’s affair. Then I thought to take it forward a generation and let their children (Ginger's daughter and Nicky's son) sift through the intrigue that colored their parents' lives.
I called it, Journey to the Past: A Casino Fanfic (That’s not up anymore)
I was spending all of my time researching and writing this Fanfiction. All of my family and friends just loved the story. By then I had three chapters on Fanfiction and a fourth chapter ready to go. My family felt it should continue in book form. Journey to the past no longer described the content of the manuscript, and then I found it! Omerta affair! It was the perfect fit for the storyline. What a fabulous experience this has been! It is a marvelous journey that continues! - Alexandra
