About the Book

Pure texture, short and sweet. With a name like Morris Ventimiglia the founding member of the Street Mystiques had to be tough. You've found a fast, touching and candid novella about New York street life in the 50's and 60's, a nostalgic, lightweight take on a heavyweight crew. But there's no plot. The Street Mystiques could be considered a legendary Brooklyn-based gang though their influence ranged as far as the shuffleboard courts on the big island of Hawaii in later years. This is the story of their origins and how, by their own admissions and self-promotions, they became notorious for their escapades, starting with a ferocious battle in the kindergarten class where they met. Discover why people named Augie are always short. And see what Chambrey does when her brother tries to pimp her out but neglects to tell her. You'll even find out if people really live on Staten Island. For the most part you can leave the brass knuckles and baseball bats at the title page. It would be best if you brought a sense of humor to the reading chair instead.
About the Author: From Silicon Valley to Northern Virginia, Jay Buckner has been involved in technology marketing for more than two decades. He served as the director for the first USAID sponsored agriculture fair in Herat, Afghanistan. In his spare time this native of Brooklyn has written a number of plays and received recognition in the one-act play contest of the Actor's Theater of Louisville. Several of his plays have enjoyed modest productions off-Broadway in New York as well as Los Angeles. In other lives he was a National Park ranger and a lifeguard at Rockaway, Queens. Jay now lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia to be near his children and grandchildren. Chesapeake, the delightful Portuguese Water Dog who owns Jay is his constant companion freely offering humor and perspective.
