An American Dream

About the Book

To the majority of America, the infamous State of Ohio is just made up of farm fi elds and politics, but in the quiet city of Columbus is a major money market in the criminal underworld where every drug from Mexican marijuana to Afgan heroin fl oods the economy on a monthly basis. And every small time hustler to every international dealer wants a piece of the pie.

For Sizalino and his notorious mentor Michael Pettway, they’re looking to control it all, forming an outfi t similar to the mythical mafi a’s ‘Commission’, called the West Side Firm; teaming up with the most powerful heads of the East and North Side, creating a conglomerate organization stretching all the way down to South Florida and into South America. With the connection to Emmanuelle Mendez, a close associate to the Columbian Godmother, they go on an unstoppable path to obtaining the ultimate American Dream of money, power, and respect. By any means necessary!

Overnight their success becomes legendary. Th ey quickly create a takeover like no one in Ohio has ever done or ever seen.

But his Mentor, Mike P., and the Commission, have other plans for him. And they’re not the only ones. Will Sizalino make it out? Will the Commission and its Firms survive the storm and the war against them, threatening to cripple and destroy their organization? Th ey say for hustlers that the American Dream has two faces; an American Dream and an American Nightmare! What will Sizalino’s American Fate be?

About the Author

Reading, writing, and spelling have always been my academic strong suits. I've done apprentice work in the past by writing formal and informal business proposals for people as well as research work for The F.I.R.M. (Financial Independence and Resource Management) of Columbus, Ohio; a non-profit organization. I have the equivelant of an Associate's degree but I am close to receiving my goal degree, a Bachelor's in Accounting/Management.
I've always had a passion for writing. Whether it was poetry, a story, or any sort of letter. There are a number of things that inspired me to write this book, An American Dream: The Life, but mainly it was because I felt that I knew I could do it. And also, it is written to and for, the dedication of my deceased sibling. May God Bless!
I currently reside in Columbus, Ohio, where I attend college and take care of my children. My most valued hobbies are exercising, both my mind and my body, reading, and learning; being an everyday student of life.
