Dark Days on Staten Island (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781442189775)

I am an author of six books about Staten Island. Born and raised in Midland Beach, now residing in South Beach and living all my life on Staten Island. I always had a love of the Island and a desire to learn about this Island where I was born and raised. This led me to write this, my seventh book about Staten Island. I have terrific memories of growing up here, particularly of my Mom bringing me to the beach as a child. I had a burning desire to find out the history of this Island before I was born and to learn about some of the wonderous tales that I was told. This all led to a website called "StatenIslandHistory.com" which I created almost five years ago. Many of the visitors sent email of memories and stories of their childhood on Staten Island. Many of the stories energized me to do more research about them. And before I knew it, I had loads of stories and information about the Island. This one is a bit different then books one to six, being that the stories are not fond memories but more on the heartbreaking side. But be it as it is, they are all part of our history.
