It was All in the Cards: The Life and Times of Midtown Mike

This book is not fiction or some fairy tale Richie rich comic book. This is a true-life depiction of a young hustler caught up in street-life situations. Picture a young impressionable fifteen-year-old kid growing up around pimps, prostitutes, hustlers and con men on the crazy midtown streets from 1979 to 1986 when 42nd street ( Deuce ) was in full effect and drama and chaos ruled the day. Some people from whom i sought advice about life were these same people. How could they teach me about something that they knew nothing about? So, i had to learn about life though trial and error. Some things that you will read about my life you will not like one bit. Some things might make you laugh. I do not know exactly how you will feel about everything in my book. But, i do know that if you get really honest with yourself, you might even relate some of the things in my life to your own.
