About Me
When one works for cocaine trafficers as a hairdresser, you can call yourself the Mafia Hairdresser. And that is also the name of my first novel. Mafia Hairdresser is a humorous fictional account of a young ambitious hairdresser who ends up moonlighting for a family who supply drugs to the Hollywood elite. Fortunately, the real me escaped from servitude to a mob couple, but I had to resort to blackmail, drugs and possibly accidental manslaughter to be able to write about it. It was the 80's and I was stupid but I'm alive today and I became a writer. Read the Reviews here.
Book two, The Glow Stick God, is also based on true events, including Chicago Mayor Daley's war on drugs, the celebrity circuit, and Michael Jackson (not the celebrity), the man who killed a cab driver with his own cab after three nights of basing Crystal Methamphetamine. (Yes, I knew him.) Lots of up-close "research" went into this book & I lost a few friends to the 90's party scene. Sometimes being in the fun place at the wrong time can make you an accomplice--and an insider. This book is due for release in November 2011. Both books are available on all eBook formats and Smashwords.com.
I am an actual hairdresser and I work at Joseph Michael's Salon and Spa. Google me or look me up in Yelp--I could be your next hairdresser. I blog here at The Local Tourist and I write and talk about anything that me and my clients talk about.
