The Boys on the Corner is the prequel book in a heartfelt Brooklyn trilogy that includes A Foot in the Door and Somewhere Between Old and New. In 1973, fifteen-year-old Gerry and his crew rule their corner-until three older guys arrive and everything changes. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

About My Short Stories This is an ongoing collection of short stories-each one inspired by the people who've left a mark on my life. Family, friends, coworkers, and even passing acquaintances all have their own stories, and here you'll find them captured in snapshots. Some are funny, some bittersweet, some unforgettable-but all of them are real moments seen through my eyes. A celebration of the characters we meet along the way, and the ways they shape who we become.

When private investigator Tom Hart flies back to Brooklyn for the first time in a decade, it's supposed to be for one thing: to bury his oldest friend, Jimmy Grillo. The cops call it a mugging gone wrong; a random act of violence on a quiet Bensonhurst street. But Jimmy's wife, Ann, thinks otherwise. She believes Jimmy's death has ties to Carmine Perro, a local bookie and loan shark Jimmy owed money to. As Tom digs deeper, old neighborhood ties pull him into a dangerous web of secrets, lies, and betrayal. Everyone has something to hide; Jimmy's gambling debts, Ann's complicated marriage, even the cop investigating the case.

My first ever novel completed. Each chapter reads like a stand-alone episode, so you can jump in anytime. A slightly older coming-of-age story set in 1980's Brooklyn. Gerry is a 24-year-old AT&T employee stuck in an entry-level job, trying to make sense of his work, his neighborhood, and his dreams; while juggling friendship, loyalty, and love. There's Mary, the girl who might just be his future. And Audrey, the girl who could crush his world with a kiss and a promise. Loud, funny, and unpredictable, this is a story about friendship, chasing the future, and the kind of love that doesn't always play fair. All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

They say the streets of Brooklyn are cleaner now. They lied. Nico Moretti is a ghost from a world that no longer exists. After 30 years behind bars, he steps out into a 2026 Brooklyn that smells of plastic and neon instead of coal and sweat. The old rules are dead, replaced by shadows you can't see and enemies you can't touch. But Nico didn't come back to fit in. He came back for what's his. Armed with nothing but his scars and a "high-tech prosthesis" that sees what human eyes miss, Nico begins a one-man war against the new underworld. This isn't just a story about the future. It's about a man who refuses to become a relic. Welcome to the Storm. The wolves are hungry.

Esme Barton's life is a delicate balancing act of survival and anonymity. In a cramped Brooklyn apartment where the radiator clanks and the rent is always a week late, she lives a life of beautiful, exhausting normalcy. Between her morning shifts wrestling with a temperamental steam wand as a trainee barista and her late nights lost in the dusty, quiet aisles of a local bookstore, She has mastered the art of being a nobody. It's exactly how her older brother, Clint, wants it. But after the Chitauri invasion turned Manhattan into a graveyard, 'nobody' is no longer an option. Driven by a guilt that haunts his every step, Clint delivers an ultimatum that shatters her carefully built world: she's moving into the Avengers Tower. Suddenly, Esme is thrust from the smell of old books and espresso into a world of glass, steel, and gods. She's a civilian in a fortress of warriors, feeling every bit the "weakness" her brother is trying to protect. Whether it's a silent, intimidating encounter with Steve Rogers in a high-tech kitchen-realizing that even the Captain's "hello" carries the weight of a soldier-or the haunting hum of the Tower's security, She feels like a ghost in a machine. But even the strongest fortress has a crack. Clint thought he could lock his secret away, but Loki hasn't forgotten the archer's mind-or the girl who lives inside it. When the shadows of the Tower prove to be a trap rather than a shield, Esme is snatched from the safety of Earth and dragged into the cold, screaming vacuum of space. Now, trapped on a dying scout ship with a fugitive god, she is no longer just a barista or a clerk, she is a pawn in a cosmic game of vengeance. Falling through the stars, she realizes that the safety her brother promised was just a beautiful lie, and she must face the most terrifying truth of all: sometimes, the person who kidnaps you is the only one who can keep you alive.

In Brooklyn, loyalty, friendship, and ambition run just as deep as the city streets. Arianna Lowery spends most of her days inside Triple Crown Beaute, the beauty shop she built with her childhood best friends Keisha and Kendra. Between packed appointment books, early mornings, and the constant laughter that fills the shop, Arianna has everything she needs-except the drama that usually comes with relationships. Focusing on her business has always been easier than letting someone get too close. Keshawn Jackson moves through Brooklyn with quiet confidence and a reputation people respect. His world revolves around loyalty, especially when it comes to his twin sisters, Tyra & Kyra. When their beauty appointments start bringing him face-to-face with Arianna more often than expected, the calm routine she built for herself slowly begins to shift. What starts as simple conversations and chance run-ins turns into something neither of them planned. But in a city where past relationships and pride don't disappear easily, moving forward is never simple. Especially when someone from the past refuses to let go.
