Thank you so much for reading it and for the kind words. Part of it is fiction, part of it isn’t. Either way most of it comes from somewhere real emotionally, spiritually, or through people and experiences I grew up around. That blurred line was important to me while writing it. You’ll learn a lot more in The Car in White because it goes much deeper into the history of these characters and where a lot of the pain, loyalty, and trauma started.
Also check out my interview on the Reformed Gangsters podcast with Anthony Ruggiano Jr. if you get a chance. I think it gives a pretty good insight into where my head was while writing In Powder Blue and the real world influences behind it.
