As I write in the introduction of my book "I belonged nowhere. I belong everywhere. The world was my oyster!" Born in Romania in the small city of Temesvar, I had a happy, comfortable childhood. Not for long. My parents relocated to Bucharest and after two years joined the tobacco family business in Saloniki, (Now Thessaloniki). The clouds of war touched us as the Italians bombarded the city. That was the beginning of an Odyssey of trying to escape the Russian armies, first from Sofia, Bulgaria where we fled after our house was destroyed in Saloniki and then from Vienna from where we retreated to theAustrian Tyrol. I got married to Mark Natlacen, he too a refugee from Slovenia.The communists assassinated his father who was the last non-communist governor there. Immigration to the New World was our only option. We found peace in Montreal, Canada and the book tells us about our family finally settling in Acton, Massachusetts.

War Against the Mafia
Author: Don Pendleton
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1497685540
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
The first book in the classic vigilante action series from a “writer who spawned a genre” (The New York Times). Overseas, Mack Bolan was dubbed “Sgt. Mercy” for the compassion he showed the innocent. On the home front, they’re calling him the Executioner for what he’s doing to the guilty. In the jungles of Southeast Asia, American sniper Mack Bolan honed his skills. After twelve years, with ninety-five confirmed hits, he returns home to Massachusetts. But it’s not to reunite with his family, it’s to bury them—victims in a mass murder/suicide. Even though Bolan’s own father pulled the trigger, he knows the old man was no killer. He was driven to madness by Mafia thugs who have turned his idyllic hometown into a new kind of war zone. Duty calls . . . Introducing an action hero “who would make Jack Reacher think twice,” this is the first book in the iconic series of vigilante justice that has become a publishing phenomenon (Empireonline.com). With more than two hundred million Executioner books sold since its debut, the series continues to stimulate. Gerry Conway, cocreator of Marvel Comics’ The Punisher, credits the Executioner as “my inspiration . . . that’s what gave me the idea for the lone, slightly psychotic avenger.” The series is also now in development as a major motion picture. War Against the Mafia is the 1st book in the Executioner series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
