So, what inspired me to write this book? The man pictured on the front of the book cover is a well-known, talented, Canadian actor named Rick Cordeiro. He is also an avid, UFO enthusiast - like myself. We met each other on Twitter, and he ended up reading my ’fact-based fiction’ series called: Nataliee’s Alien Nightmare - a scary, yet fun-to-read book about alien abduction. Rick liked my writing style, which is dedicated to non-stop entertainment, and fun dialogue. As I got to know Rick, I found out that he enjoys acting in Mafioso roles and comedy. That’s when I ’connected the dots’, and decided to write this black comedy called: SON OF A DON. With Rick’s talent and connections, I look forward to seeing him immortalize the character, Gino Morella, to become a ’loveable, tough guy’, who audiences will openly cheer for. Thank you, Rick, for your inspiration and support. I greatly appreciate it. Personally, I enjoy writing in a variety of genres. I have another book coming out called: The Princess and the Viking. I co-authored that book with Grace Christie, which is set in 1700’s Ireland - loosely based on the real lives of actual people in both of our family trees. Soon, I will continue with my alien abduction series, co-authored with Bob De Long. The next one will be called: Nataliee’s Alien Nightmare III: The Bermuda Triangle Escapade. Of course, I’ll be waiting for my friend, Rick Cordeiro, to tell me to start writing an action-packed sequel to SON OF A DON... I always welcome any feedback. My website is: www.markusfredericks.com.
