It's been a long time since I updated this blog. I had a busy fall and start of winter after the book was released, most of which had nothing to do with the book.
I have several upcoming events: Sunday January 17 I'm speaking at the Cheektowaga Historical Society, Sunday January 24 I will be at the Lancaster Historical Society, and Saturday February 20 I'll be at Borders on Walden Avenue.
The book is starting to get some feet and sales are picking up. If you like the book, please tell your friends and family.
A friend is reading the book and afterward we are going to collaborate on a screenplay. Probably sometime this summer.
The book is in most Buffalo stores and available at buffalobooks.com if you are out of town.

I tried to order this book at Amazon and AbeBooks on Jan. 26, 2010, and I was shocked that neither had it (even tried the ISBN). So, I went to B&N and got it for $12.40+s/h. Not too bad a price, really. My Mom says that, back in the 20's and 30's, my maternal grandparents lived on Spohn Drive (behind the D&L Plaza), which was quite close to Big Korney, who lived on Cloyes Avenue, which is near Swede Hill, in Depew. Maybe when I get the book I'll see if my Mom's right on her location info. I'm half Polish and half German, so I have interest in this book. Thanks for writing it!
ReplyDeleteMy Mother gave me a article the other night about her uncle "Sigmund "Ziggy" Plocharski". My Grandmother, maiden name Esther Plocharski, never mentioned her brother to anyone in the family. He was pretty much considered a disgrace to the family and never spoken of. I was close to my Grandparents and they were the kindest and hardest working people I know. They always stressed to me that I was Polish and that meant that I was a hard-worker. Reading this article couldn't surprise me more.
ReplyDeleteI have ordered the book so that my family may be able to read about their uncle and grand uncle. From the article I also understood that "Ziggy" was the only member of the Korney Gang that was never apprehended by the police. He had many alias names but was never caught.
Can't wait to read the book!!
