A Teenage Runaway Creates Life on His Own Terms
The son of a violent, sociopathic father and an ineffectual, codependent mother, Enzo Giovanni grew up knowing that his family wasn’t good. As the abuse and lack of safety skyrocketed, he made the choice to get out—the mean streets of New York City in the 1970s were safer than his house. His fight to survive changed him from a shy boy into a dangerous, rebellious misfit. But even at his worst, Enzo had two qualities that would shape the rest of his life: intelligence and determination. Submerge yourself into Enzo’s wild world and learn how he became a US paratrooper, how he ended up in jail, how one day was a janitor, and how a short time later property manager of ten Manhattan skyscrapers, and the owner of a successful commercial trucking company—what he did when he was accused by ATF agents of being a gun-runner, the unbelievable events that led to his relationships with officers of Russian military and KGB. Enzo’s ingenuity and grit failed him when it came to his dysfunctional family, as he learned hard lessons about not trusting anyone related to him. But the sense of adventure that earned him his parachutist’s wings also put him in the water as the owner of a forty-two-foot 1400HP world-class offshore powerboat, and on the road with dangerously fast muscle cars and motorcycles that satisfied his need for danger. Last but not least, Enzo took a calculated risk that got him the greatest prize of all: the love of his life which he found in Russia. Son of No One is an exuberant, hard-hitting examination of a life lived well despite impossible hardships. It is an inspiration, a thrill ride, and an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
