Inside and finding Blessed to be Unwanted

Let's stared off with Blessed to be Unwanted book Summary

 by Author Candace Webb-Henderson!

Blessed to Be Unwanted is an inspirational account, which highlights the heroism of one woman’s love for children and humanity during and after WWII. It is a true story written by Candace Henderson, the daughter of the baby who was handed over to strangers on a street corner, at only five days old - A testament to how an unwanted child can leave a legacy by following her dreams and living her life to the fullest. In the end, love prevails through many challenges and a triumph over her fears, grief and loss – and the world is a better place because of her. 
Blessed to Be Unwanted offers hope to go after life in a big way! Why live small when someone who has experienced the same feelings and discovered lots of happiness can inspire you?

Okay, my readers, it's more than a story. One day I was chatting with my cousin on my father side of the family one day and she went on to tell me this; "Have you heard of Aunt Joan? (Joni) She was a sibling that they didn't know they had until years later---I just found another cousin's Candy Webb Henderson & Connie Mitchell---they are my twin cousin's I didn't know I had either---Candy just wrote a Book also---about her Mom's story and Your Great Grandmother Iva"

If you know me at all FAMILY MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.  So I looked it up on Amazon.com and have to this because it was about my Great-Aunt and my Great-Grandma. I felt like I need to read this because I remember when I was around 15, My grandma Joyce told me that she has a sister that her mother gave away.

 I got in touch with Candy and she sends me my very own copy of BLESSED TO BE UNWANTED and I've received my copy last night and when I open this book up to the page that had a picture of my own grandma as a little girl on it! I was moved to tears since she passes on in 2011 and I never got to kiss my grandma goodbye.

Looking forward to reading this book. Thank-You Candy!

My Year in review ~ 2013!

My how time flies! 2013 has been one of the best years ever! At the beginning of this year I made a new year’s resolution and goal finishing my novel, finding an agent, and get it published. I'm happy to say that I met my goal and my first novel "Omerta Affair" is out today. 

 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. 

 I completely finished my novel around June and I sent it off to that agent that was waiting to see it. Three weeks I've lived with excitement and nervous until one night I got an e-mail from her telling me that she liked the my book and want to meet with me. That's how I got Miss. Iris to be my agent.

 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. 

This Thanksgiving I went to Charleston South Carolina! While I was there I walked the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. I went to a plantation that was still working, that was very awesome, and walked the down town main street.

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."

The reviews are in..... Here what people are saying about Omerta Affair!  

"Ya know when you know a book is good when you can't put it down, and Omerta-Affairs is that kind of book." - Frank Cullotta 

"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."  - Unknown

"Alexandra Forry has written a must read book and I highly recommend it. If you like mob stories then get yourself a copy." - Ronald Fino

Omerta Affair

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
